Book Description
So, who was Jesus? A vagabond. A nobody from the middle of nowhere. Perfectly positioned for insignificance. And yet, this itinerant teacher changed the world. He came to set the record straight—to expose the lies and reveal the truth; to teach us how to live a life of joy, peace, and purpose; to be our guide. Jesus offers a new life, charged with supernatural power and sealed with an eternal guarantee. Our destinies are connected, each one a modest but essential element in a much grander narrative, a chronicle filled with brokenness and failure but also with rescue and redemption. We innately understand that our lives are part of a larger, more beautiful story. This book is about exploring that story and discovering a brave new world. A world where guilt and shame are sent to die and where love and grace rise from the grave. Discover the truth and allow Jesus to set you free.

Book Description
It has been over twenty years since the publication of The Ragamuffin Gospel, a book many claim as the shattering of God’s grace into their lives. Since that time, Brennan Manning has been dazzingly faithful in preaching and writing variations on that singular theme – “Yes, Abba is very fond of you!” But today the crowds are gone and the lights are dim, the patches on his knees have faded. If he ever was a ragamuffin, truly it is now. In this his final book, Brennan roves back his past, honoring the lives of the people closest to him, family and friends who’ve known the saint and the sinner, the boy and the man. Far from some chronological timeline, these memories are witness to the truth of life by one who has lived it – All Is Grace.

Book Description
We are pressing beyond the range of human information at blazing speed, and in so doing, we are entering a realm were quite unprepared for. When this books essayist announces a celestial being from a different dominion has arrived to equip us with permission to eat of the fruit, allowing us to become all-knowledgeable, and to offer immortality, everyone is eager, of course. The extraterrestrial alien values the spirit nature as much as we value our flesh, and he prizes each, for he transcends knowledge of those entities, a character gushes. But we shall lose command of our individual freedoms if we forfeit our wits to another, because intelligence is more than gathering lots of data. Filtering information takes time and work to transform into wisdom. The race to control artificial intelligence has made each person a database for a search engine, and our species has mixed with machine. Weve become unknowingly programmed without an ethical compass while some in charge have questionable motives and are involved in moral turpitude. The result? As one character laments, We must break the very laws that make us civil.
