Abba's Child

I know I’ve mentioned this book a few times in reference on here but I’d like to spend a few more moments on it today.
Each chapter has spurred deep healing, understanding, and challenges within my as I’ve read it thoroughly the last 2 and a half weeks. I haven’t spent time on here prior to this discussing it because I understand that unless you were to open the book with the same questions, brokenness, and need I did the impact would probably be miniscule and there is no point in trying to convey why, how , and where it met me when that’s really a part of my personal journey. Anyway! But I have filled my journal to the brim of quotes, thoughts, and scripture from Manning in this book and often with the longing for someone to read it and have the same “Holy Cow!” experience I did. When I finished the last sentence in my morning study time few days ago and glanced at the other books sitting on my dresser that Marta has set as my curriculum I glanced back at the cover of Abba’s Child and opened to page one to begin seeping in the knowledge it holds all over again.
With that said here are some segments I hope would be beneficial regardless of where you are on the journey:
"Being alone with the Alone moves us from what John Henry Newman called rational knowledge to real knowledge. The first means I know something in a remote abstract way that never intrudes on our conciousness, the second means I may not know it but I act on it anyway."
