A power that is nothing short of furious. Such is God's intense, consuming love for His children. It's a love that knows no limits, and no boundaries.

Neste livro, o autor de O evangelho maltrapilho reflete simultaneamente sobre a dupla condição da vida humana: frágil e dependente do Criador, mas ao mesmo tempo valorizada e querida por aquele que a gerou. A graça, referência única e suficiente, é o eixo sobre o qual Manning estabelece esta reflexão apaixonante, que conduz a um estado de êxtase e prostração jubilosa.
