Publisher's summary

Is an imposter robbing you of God's love?

Many Christians have bought into the lie that we are worthy of God's love only when our lives are going well. If our families are happy or our jobs are meaningful, life is a success. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and embarrassing sins threaten to reveal our less-than-perfect identity, we scramble to keep up a good front to present to the world - and God. We cower and hide until we can rearrange the mask of perfection and look good again.

Sadly, it is then that we wonder why we lack intimate relationships and a passionate faith. Yes all this time God is calling us to take the mask off and come openly to Him. God longs for us to know in the depth of our being that He loves us and accepts us as we are. When we are true selves, we can finally claim our identity as God's child - Abba's child - and experience His pleasure in who we are.

Brennan Manning encourages readers to let go of the imposter lifestyle and freely accept our belovedness as a child of the heavenly Father. In Him there is life, our passion is rekindled, and our union with Him is His greatest pleasure.

ABBA'S CHILD experience the Fathers' heart<br />

I will listen again and again.
So will you. A classic Christian testimony to love.
Not just any love but the love we can live in moment by moment.
Brennan Manning is able to show us that Christ walked WITH the Father extending such great love to all (no exceptions) and we can do so too if only we can accept who we are as the beloved.

Gentle, Thunderous love.

This small book is on par Mere Christianity. Manning spells out the love of Christ.

Abba's child

I loved this book. it was easy to understand. I learned nothing can come between us and the love of God.

Prepare to be changed...

This book is like a cold stream of tue refreshment in an otherwise barren landscape. In a time where many so-called Christian books resemble hollow, lifeless self-help manuals, this books rings clearly the true message of God's love for us.

Refreshment for Hungry Soul!

The desire of my hurting heart found the refreshment needed to see the truth about who I am and what am supposed to be about. To believe with all my being that He loves me just where I am in my walk. He is my beloved and I am His!
I found myself wanting to take my time in order to not miss a single bit of the revelation that I am Abba's child.

Truth

This book caused me to really think deeply about my connection with God and it's authenticity or lack there of. The honestity and depth of a Christian Life comes only from truly knowing how much we really need him.

Wounded life…we all have it. But, what do we do with it?

“The unwounded life bears no resemblance to the Rabbi.”

“Sin will be no shame but honor”
Julian of Norwich

How true the sins, the scars shape us into who we truly are!
