Description :
是否，有一位骗子从你身上夺走了神的爱？
许多基督徒相信一个谎言，只有当我们生活美满时才配得神的爱。当人生开始破裂，不堪的罪恶显明我们的不尽完美，我们就只会拼命地维持体面来呈现给这个世界，也呈现给神。我们畏缩、隐藏，直到能重新戴上完美的面具，展现美貌。可悲的是，那是我们才觉得奇怪，为什么我们独独缺了亲密的关系和热情的信心。
神一直呼召我们脱去面具，坦然来到他面前。神渴望我们在内心深处认知：他以我们的本相爱我们、接纳我们。我们需要放弃骗子的生活方式，表现自己的真我，才能得着我们身为神的孩子——阿爸的孩子的身份，并经历他对我们的喜悦。我们与他的联合是他最大的喜悦。在他里面有生命，被他完全的爱拥抱，我们的爱火将重燃。
名家推荐：
诚实、真实、有创意、渴慕神。当我想到曼宁的作品时，这些字眼便浮现出来。你读了便会明白我的意思！
——路卡杜（《上帝的悄悄话》《大山可以挪开》等书作者）
曼宁用先知般的热情，对我们内心最深处的渴望说话，吸引我们定睛于那位唯一能满足我们的神。听吧，真正地聆听，这关于“身份归属”的信息，必将继续翻转我们的生命。曼宁是我的朋友，他一直走在我的前面。我照着他所走过的从后面跟进，我也从中深深享受到阿爸的爱。谢谢曼宁。

Has a liar stolen God's love from you?
Many Christians believe a lie that we are worthy of God's love only when we are happy in life. When life begins to crack, and unbearable sin reveals our imperfections, we just try to maintain decency to present to the world, and to God. We cringe and hide until we can put back on the perfect mask to reveal our beauty. Sadly, it's us who wonder why intimacy and passionate confidence alone are missing.
God has always called us to take off our masks and come boldly before Him. God longs for us to know deep down that he loves and accepts us for who we are. We need to let go of the life of a liar and express our true selves in order to claim our identity as children of God—Abba's children and experience His joy in us. Our union with him is his greatest joy. There is life in him, embraced by his complete love, and our love will be rekindled.
Endorsement:
Honest, real, creative, thirsty for God. These words come to mind when I think of Manning's work. You'll know what I mean when you read it!
——Lucadu (author of "God's Whispers", "Mountains Can Be Moved" and other books)
With prophetic fervor, Manning speaks to our deepest desires, drawing our eyes to the one God who can only satisfy us. Listen, really listen, this message of "identity" will continue to turn our lives around. Manning is my friend, he has always walked in front of me. I followed from behind as he walked, and I deeply enjoyed Abba's love from it. Thank you Manning.
