THE FURIOUS LONGING OF GOD

Dan Cashman authentically interprets Brennan Manning's inspiring autobiographical message of God's fierce love for His children. He makes especially believable Manning's comparison of the awesome and majestic forces of nature to God's pursuit of His children. With empathy and clarity, Cashman powerfully characterizes Manning's description of himself as a recovering alcoholic, a divorcé, a Catholic priest, and a sinner. Before Manning's return to the Father, Cashman interprets what Manning calls the "how and why" of those earlier situations and captures the tension of the complex passage that led Manning to an intimate and personal knowledge of God's love. This work showcases the limitless efforts of God to reach out to a lost child with a Father's love. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2009]
