Dear Abba: Morning and Evening Prayer

Author of The Ragamuffin Gospel and other best-selling inspirational books, Brennan Manning in Dear Abba shares his wisdom in a powerful new way. Completed shortly before Manning's recent death, this book lays out a month of honest prayers to God -- whom Manning affectionately calls -Abba- -- in a devotional format designed to guide and inspire the reader's own prayers. The morning and evening entries each present a Scripture passage, a select excerpt from Manning's contemporary spiritual classics, and a concluding -Dear Abba- prayer. These morning and evening devotions contain poignant cries for help, expressions of wide-eyed wonder, and invitations into the comforting mercy of God. As Manning writes in his preface, -My prayer is that these words will push you closer to that place of quiet rest, near to the heart of Abba, just the two of you.-
