Now he identifies self-hatred as the reason that so many of us seem unable to accept this incredible, unchanging love. By clearly examining and understanding Jesus' life, we can put self-hatred behind us forever and truly be transformed in the ways God intended.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Following his work on the unconditional love of God, bestselling Christian writer Brennan Manning now turns to the life and work of Jesus to find an answer to the most pressing spiritual problem of our age: self-hatred. Manning shows how this problem is rooted in "a script" founded in a faulty understanding of the nature of divine love and a lack of clear understanding of the person and message of Jesus. He helps us to re-write this script of self-hatred by gaining a clearer glimpse of the nature of Jesus: his healing work, stories of deliverance, liberating prayer, integrity of self-acceptance, and all-encompassing compassion. <BR> "This little book pretends to be no more than the title claims: a glimpse of Jesus. That is all I have. It is written for myself and anyone else who has been tyrannized by self-hatred. I envision a wide reading audience because self-hatred is the most persistent and prevalent spiritual problem I have encountered in my many years as a vagabond evangelist." --Brennan Manning, from the foreword.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[C]ompelling . . . .Manning's book offers a radical portrait of discipleship for the modern church."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Manning does a good job of pointing Christians in the right direction by giving a glimpse of Jesus' love."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"...Scorchingly prophetic, breathtakingly transparent, and extravagantly tender.
