Did not know this was happening! A biopic about one of our heroes, Brennan Manning, is on its way. It looks like they need some more funding to get over the finished line – you can help here. Exciting:
To peruse our archives of Brennan quotes, click here. And while we’re at it, here are two more from his classic, The Ragamuffin Gospel:
“And Grace calls out, ‘You are not just a disillusioned old man who may die soon, a middle-aged woman stuck in a job and desperately wanting to get out, a young person feeling the fire in the belly begin to grow cold. You may be insecure, inadequate, mistaken or potbellied. Death, panic, depression, and disillusionment may be near you. But you are not just that. You are accepted.’ Never confuse your perception of yourself with the mystery that you really are accepted.”
“The confessing church of American Ragamuffins needs to join Magdalene and Peter in witnessing that Christianity is not primarily a moral code but a grace-laden mystery; it is not essentially a philosophy of love but a love affair; it is not keeping rules with clenched fists but receiving a gift with open hands.”

Interesting. I hope any film about Manning will also not hide his own flaws – notably his deceptions in many of the stories he told repeatedly (here are at least two)
