“In most testimonies the good news is only a small part of the story, obscured by our achieving and overcoming. In Brennan’s story, and in mine, the good news is the entire story, which blessedly leaves us with nothing to prove or protect.”
― Brennan Manning, All Is Grace: A Ragamuffin Memoir

“Take the statement: “For something to be true, it must be provable scientifically.” Can that statement be proved scientifically? Can you do an experiment in a lab to demonstrate that it is true? Or how about, “My daughter loves me”? How can that very important statement ever be proven? The fact is, we believe things because they make sense of the world as we see it, not because some outside authority (like scientific proof) says they are true. So the real question is: How does belief or nonbelief in God make sense of the world around us?”
