Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-16 00:00:00 Daniela Rossler This is one of the most helpful books I have ever read. Brennan Manning is one of my favorite authors because of his honest, authentic approach to the gospel. In one chapter, he talks about how being grateful for our lives actually releases us to inner freedom. I loved it. Good quote from the book that is actually from Henri Nouwen: "To be grateful for the good things that happen in our lives is easy, but to be grateful for all of our lives- the good as well as the bad, the moments of joy as well as the moments of sorrow, the successes as well as the failures, the rewards as well as the rejections- that requires hard spiritual work. Still we are only grateful people when we can say thank you to all that has brought us to the present moment. As long as we keep dividing our lives between events and people we would like to remember and those we would rather forget, we cannot claim the fullness of our beings as a gift of God to be grateful for. Let's not be afraid to look at everything that has brought us to where we are now and trust that we will soon see in it the guiding hand of a loving God."

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-16 00:00:00 Stephen Michaels Great book...when I read some of it three years ago, the first few chapters impacted me heavily. This time around Ch. 9 on Humble Confidence blew me away. It's the type of a book that I feel can and should sit on your bookshelf, impacting you in many different ways as you pick it up and read it at different seasons in your life.
