The furious longing of God

What do you do when you can't sleep in the middle of the night?  Read a book, of course, it will put you back to sleep quickly.  But sadly and happily I didn't pick one of those. I picked a book I hadn't read yet, "The Furious Longing of God" by Brennan Manning.

Wouldn't you know it this would be a book that wouldn't put you to sleep, but wouldn't let you sleep till you finished it.  I read the whole thing and am overwhelmed with awe at the love of God once more unpacked by Manning.  How do you write about the love of God in a way that makes even the atheist want it?  Write like Brennan Manning.  

I won't try to unpack this amazing little book, but will simply invite you to read it and allow his words to soak into your soul.  The words are life giving and encouraging.  This is a must read for every struggling child of God....and doesn't that include us all?
