About this ebook
Are you struggling to accept God’s love?
We’ve bought into the lie that we are worthy of God’s love only when our lives are going well. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and things become less-than-perfect, we scramble to present a good front to the world―and to God.
God longs for us to deeply believe and know that He loves us and accepts us as we are. He calls for us to remove our masks and establish honest, deep, and trusting relationships with Him. When we are our true selves, we can finally claim our authentic identities as His own―Abba’s children.
Brennan Manning, author of The Ragamuffin Gospel, soulfully encourages you to let go of the pressure of an impostor lifestyle and lean into the life-changing wonder of a truly loving relationship with God. With a gentle wisdom and tender style, this book addresses:
“Honest. Genuine. Creative. God hungry. These words surface when I think of the writings of Brennan Manning. Read him for yourself―you’ll see what I mean!” ―Max Lucado, New York Times bestselling author
“I pray that Brennan Manning and the timeless voices . . . in this book might offer you hope. May they remind you that you are loved by the Father-Creator Himself. May they sing and speak into your life against the voices that tell you otherwise.” ―Jon Foreman, lead singer of Switchfoot
