About this listen

Imagine a stormy day at sea: your ship yielding to a relentless wind, pummeled by crashing waves, subject to the awesome force of nature. A force that is both fierce and majestic. A power that is nothing short of furious. Such is God's intense love for His children.

The Furious Longing of God is the latest tour de force from beloved author and ragamuffin, Brennan Manning. Hold on tight as you discover the most powerful force in the universe: God's furious longing for you. There is nowhere God won't go to find us. No country too distant. No terrain too treacherous. No risk too great. It is a Father's search for His lost son, His lost daughter. And there are no boundaries to where His love will take Him in order to find us, embrace us, and carry us home!

Another incredible book by Brennan Manning!

Would you listen to Furious Longing of God again? Why?

I have listened to it 3 times since purchasing it a few weeks ago. The concept and participation of receiving God's unconditional love for me and His most awesome grace is always a battle within our human condition. Brennan speaks so clearly to that.

What did you like best about this story?

There is a chapter called "Healing" that steps out at this time from the rest and really hit me. Brennan speaks of how God is calling each of us to participate in the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. He goes on to say, "Healing is the response to a crisis in the life of another person. It's enough of a response, a satisfactory response to a crisis in the life of another. And wherever the word "crisis" is used in the Greek New Testament (krisis), it is translated in English as "judgement". That's right - judgment. Healing is a response that I make to a decisive moment in the life of a brother or sister; whether I respond or not, I have made a judgment. Healing becomes the opportunity to pass off to another human being what I have received from the Lord Jesus; namely His unconditional acceptance of me as I am, not as I should be. He loves me whether in a state of grace or disgrace, whether I live up to the lofty expectations of His gospel or I don't. He comes to me where I live and loves me as I am."

In a world of condemnation and doubt, we need to judgment like this to share with one another! It reminds me a bit of something C.S.Lewis said in a sermon years ago called "The Weight of Glory". How we either can bless a person towards God or curse a person further away from God by our words, thoughts, and deeds as we interact with that person. It has been a while since I have read that, so I am paraphrasing from my memory. But that whole idea of acceptance and blessing which we cannot do until we have received the same from our Lord Jesus, and made it a part of ourselves - not just head knowledge - is so good!

What does Dan Cashman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like his voice - it sounds like Brennan.

Love Manning's honesty

My title says it all really. I love the way Brennan is so honest and lays his life out for his readers to relate to. This is a little treasure and I'll be listening to it again when I need to be encouraged about God's love for me. Thanks Brennan!

A revelation of the Father's character.

I'd recommend it to any Christian wanting a deeper, substantial understanding of the love of God, in its fatherly capacity.

I belong to ABBA

One of the most profound books I have read. The realness and struggle we all go through makes it fade away when it’s brought into the reality of how much Abba loves me!

This is what the world needs right now.

This is the first book that I have listened to by this author. I found myself weeping at times and praising God at other times. It touched my heart and soul. When the book ended it left me wanting more. Several of his other books are now on my wishlist. Very thankful for this book and will be listening to it again.

Truth reminded....

I liked it all. Being reminded that I am saved...I'm not working to be saved because love has already saved me! I needed reminding....😭 I cried every chapter. and I never read Don Quixote in that light!!!!

Abba, I belong to you.

Would you listen to Furious Longing of God again? Why?

The words from this book penetrate the very lies we tell ourselves about God. We are taught to believe that God doesn't love us and holds a record of our wrongs. Brennan Manning helps to bring clarity to the topic of God's love through his own life experiences and loving words. You can feel the love of God as you listen to this book. Your heart can't help but be exposed to what it is really like knowing and accepting the fact that your are loved and longed for.
