Author: Brennan Manning

Brennan Manning (April 27, 1934 – April 12, 2013) was an influential American author, priest, and speaker known for his profound insights into faith and grace. Raised in the challenges of Depression-era New York City, he served in the US Marine Corps during the Korean War before pursuing a path in the clergy, graduating from the seminary in 1963 as a Franciscan priest. Manning dedicated part of his life to the Little Brothers of Jesus, embracing a contemplative existence among the marginalized, where he engaged in various humble tasks across Europe. His journey of personal struggle, including a battle with alcoholism, ultimately inspired his writing, most notably in his acclaimed work, "The Ragamuffin Gospel," which resonates with themes of love, acceptance, and the transformative power of grace.
