    LOVED “All is Grace”… and how amazingly transparent and real through your lens on Brennan. Truly all IS grace.

    Retweeted… OK, so maybe it was just a obnoxious chirp, something decidedly less than a tweet, given that I have 35 followers. I can say that they’re a god and hardy lot, those 35.

    OK… love how the Facebook fan page is set up… sent a link out on my wall… hope this explodes and grace is sloshed indiscriminately all over everyone.

    Hmmm…. OK, so I inadvertently posted this giveaway on the Brennan Manning fan page… then re-posted it on my wall. Not looking for extra credit, although I am the dude in the back swinging his arm in the air like some kinda out of control MixMaster. Just say’n. Jewelz and Janna got have be by a furlong, I see. Hmmm. They are quick.

    I loved his “Furious Longing” and “Abba’s Child” – transformational. Really needing grace and needing to give it even more.

      Just curious…why are my comments still “awaiting moderation?” Some who have posted after me, their posts have already been moderated, so I was just wonderin. This is the first blog I’ve subscribed to, so I just wasn’t sure how things went down.

    So, I’m here because Seth told me I’d like this book, and I saw further down your page he’s already read it on Kindle, so WHY THE HECK IS HE DILUTING MY CHANCES OF WINNING BY COMMENTING OVER AND OVER?

    Outside of the fact I *like* Seth Haines and I’m grateful he told me about your giveaway, and maybe, just maybe we’ll both luck out and win.

    Based on your review and the little I’ve heard, I think Brennan might’ve been writing for me….and all the “me’s” just like me…..

    …a doubter who’s thankful for the ancient plea, “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief….”

    Thank you John for your labor of Love. I am slowly reading it, with the care and tenderness it deserves. My only sadness is that I never had the chance to meet him or see him in person. I will have to wait for that chance. I have to admit I am a little jealous of the Nororious Sinners, but in my jealousy I am reminded that I can know the Author of the Furious Love and Grace that enveloped Brennans life. And with that I am satisfied. Thanks again for what you have done for Brennan and for all of us.

  59. Bob Kendall on October 28, 2011 at 3:22 am

    Thank you John for being a part of this book. It read like all of Brennan’s books so you did an incredible job. This was a tearful read for me, as I had hoped to one day meet Brennan. I am envious of those who know him personally, especially the “Nortorious Sinners”. It has motivated me to search out my own band of brothers to “Do Life with”. Thanks for gift to us,
    Bob

      Bob, I’m thankful the words spoke to you like they did…yes, search out a merry band of your own, Brennan would like that…

      Grace, always grace,
