There’s so much to think about in this book. It’s perhaps a bit random, consisting as it does of articles written by Brennan Manning when he was alone, with time to pray and ponder and realise, once again, who he was, and what was important. As he wrote, he discovered more about himself and his faith.

The main theme of the book is the need to spend time with God, to be alone to pray and listen and accept oneself as a beloved child of the Father. A lot of the book involves the idea of being ‘enough’ - with no way to earn more favour, no need to compete with anyone else.

Very highly recommended to any believers, or those who would like to believe. It doesn't seem to be available in the Kindle version any more, however.
