Discover how the unconditional compassion of Jesus can break the grip of self-hatred and heal your deepest spiritual wounds.
Beloved Christian writer Brennan Manning has long been illuminating the transforming power of God's constant love for us in his bestselling books. Here Manning uncovers legalism and distorted images of God as false barriers that keep believers locked in guilt.
Now he identifies self–hatred as the reason that so many of us seem unable to accept this incredible, unchanging love. Through gospel reflections, the author shows how Christ shared meals with tax collectors and welcomed social outcasts.
Drawing upon decades of ministry, he presents the mercy of the cross as the antidote that frees broken people from the cycle of remorse.
By clearly examining and understanding Jesus' life, we can put self–hatred behind us forever and truly be transformed in the ways God intended.
- Spiritual Formation: Encounter Jesus through the gospel accounts of foot-washing and the restoration of Peter by the Sea of Tiberias.
- Spiritual Life: Cultivate quiet contemplation through dedicated periods of prayer before the cross, moving beyond performance-driven religion into childlike trust.
- Self-Acceptance: Overcome toxic perfectionism and false guilt by embracing the tender Father revealed in the story of the prodigal son.
- Personal Growth: Discover authentic freedom and emotional honesty modeled on the life of Sir Thomas More and the fellowship of recovery communities.
