Brennan Manning Life And Death Quotations

Without fear I can acknowledge that the authentic Christian tension is not between life and death, but between life and life.

We are not cowed into timidity by death and life. Were we forced to rely on our own shabby resources we would be pitiful people in deed. But the awareness of Christ's present risenness persuades us that we are buoyed up and carried on by a life greater than our own.
