Rating: 5
Summary: A Gift of God's Love
Comment: I don't know how many copies of this book I have bought over the years. I have given away so many, I cannot begin to count. WARNING! This book will change your life!! It is as radical as Jesus original message was in His time.
Brennan Manning's way of telling the Story of God's Love is warm and personal and yet convicts some of the religious establishment priorities. This book will give you a very real perspective on how much fun and full of love God is. It will give you a sense of peace with what God would have us do.
Get more than one copy, because God will whisper to you to give copies to others.

Summary: His Love...pure and simple
Comment: "Our Life in Christ. It's not an easy thing to grasp. Maybe you understand it only by living it. And maybe Augustine was right on the money when he wrote: 'Give me someone who loves and he will understand what I am trying to say. Give me someone whose heart yearns, who feels the nostalgia of loneliness in exile, who is athirst and sighs for the fatherland eternal, give me such a one and he will understand what I am trying to say. But if I must explain myself to ice-cold indifference, he will not understand.'"
The preceding quotation is from Brennan Manning's "Lion and Lamb - the Relentless Tenderness of Jesus." Lion and Lamb is a remarkable book from a remarkable author. My copy is especially remarkable ... it was given to me as a gift by a total stranger...and I am eternally grateful for it.
I had previously read Manning's "The Ragamuffin Gospel," which is a great book in its own right. Yet "Lion and Lamb" holds a special place in my list of all-time favorite books. Few books are as packed with so much deeply freeing food for thought.
"Lion and Lamb" is all about how much Jesus loves us. Brennan uses personal illustrations from his own life and weaves them into tried and true teachings from years past to paint a picture of how much Jesus loves us. One example of how skillfully and movingly Manning extrapolates Biblical truths is found in the following excerpt:
"My brothers and sisters, Jesus is our God. He and the Father are one. He is the image of the invisible God. Our Jesus image makes all the difference. If we let the Lion of Judah run loose as Lord of our lives, He will not want us to be poor, broken, or sad. Yet He may allow it, knowing that in these conditions we are more likely to let Him make us rich, whole, and happy. If you let the real Jesus into your life, the God whose supreme desire is your happiness and fulfillment, you'll want to throw out anything that is going to stop you from reaching His Kingdom. The brutal hyperbole's about plucking out the eye, cutting off the hand or foot, become understandable in this context-and in no other. Jesus' teaching is full of wild exaggerations, for Jesus is a wild man. And He says to us, 'It has pleased My Father to give you the kingdom.'"
Amen. I give this book my absolute highest recommendation. Get a copy today and let the wild man run free in your life.
