Dick Staub, Seattle resident and well known faith and culture conversationalist has a great podcast he's pulled out of his archives. Brennan Manning is the Catholic-priest-turned-itinerant-evangelist who wrote the popular Ragamuffin Gospel. In Ruthless Trust he explores the question: “Can God be Trusted,” and moves the conversation beyond simple intellectual assent to a deeper experience of joy found in passionately trusting God. A gem of an interview found in the Dick Staub archives from a man who knows whereof he speaks.
My book case contains every book Brennan has written. I find myself constantly going back to them, like the joy in visiting a dear old friend. I had the wonderful experience a few years ago with a group of friends, to hang out and listen to Brennan for a weekend. I can remember seeing him, and seeing this weak tired aged man and thinking...he's never going to make it through the weekend.
But when ever it came time for him to speak, it was like he plugged into something that was way beyond him. I have never heard such wisdom, clarity, simplicity, compassion and humility. Anyways, if you've never heard Brennan speak before, I highly recommend listening to Dick's interview with him...
