More From Brennan Manning

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.
Names Two Voice
To possess both wisdom and compassion is the heart of our human revolution. if you have wisdom alone and lack compassion, it will be a cold, perverse wisdom. if you have compassion alone and lack wisdom, you cannot give happiness to others. you are even likely to lead them in the wrong direction, and you won't be able to achieve your own happiness.
Heart Compassion Giving
Nature always takes you at your own valuation. believe you are the child of god-really believe it. believe that you express divine life, divine truth, and divine love. believe that divine wisdom guides you. believe that god is your supply. believe that god is helping and blessing humanity through you. believe that you are a special enterprise on the part of god and that he is opening your way-and what you really believe, that you will demonstrate.
Children Believe Blessing
The engaged mind, illuminated by truth, awakens awareness; the engaged heart, affected by love, awakens passion. may i say once more - this essential energy of the soul is not an ecstatic trance, high emotion or a sanguine stance toward life: it is a fierce longing for god, an unyielding resolve to live in and out of our belovedness. - pg. 152
Love Passion Heart

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
