About the Author
Brennan Manning is often on the road, speaking of God's unconditional love at church retreats and conferences. A popular author, his books include The Signature of Jesus and Abba's Child. Brennan and his wife, Roslyn, make their home in New Orleans.
Maurice England moved to the Chicago area in the fall of 2006, after a twelve year run as a long-haul trucker, to continue the cultivation of his lifelong interest in the expressive arts and oral interpretation. A veteran audiophile, Maurice listened to well over one thousand audiobooks while on the road and fell in love with the genre. From his past experience in broadcasting, community theater, music performance, and ministry he saw narrating as a means to merge his love for books, ideas, learning, and spiritual evolution with his interest in artistic expression. While his narration experience has primarily been nonfiction, personal development, and spiritual-growth titles, Maurice anticipates using his authentically warm and folksy southern style to entertain and inspire through storytelling. Inspired most by the behind-the-scenes artists who engineer, direct, edit, and master the audiobook productions we hear, Maurice has become an absorbed student and participant in the process.
John Blase's work includes Living the Questions and Living the Letters Bible study series, the Worldviews reference book, Real Life Stuff for Couples, and The Message Children's Bible. A former pastor, he currently edits by day and writes by night. He lives with his wife and children in Colorado.
Reviews
"Brennan's memoir is at once unvarnished and confessional, grippingly honest and poignantly tender. An unguarded peek into a life marked by foibles and blessings, gifts and pain, joy and regret. But always, in every paragraph, grace. Brennan has lived it, experienced it, and grasps the extraordinary power of God's great gift."
-- "Max Lucado, New York Times bestselling author of Fearless and Outlive Your Life""In honest and sincere tones, Maurice England narrates the equally honest and sincere memoir of Father Brennan Manning...In England's gravelly voice, one hears something of Manning's age, his wisdom, and, at times, even his regrets...England's easygoing voice brings a sense of authenticity to this first-person account of Manning's life."
"Manning's dispassionate voice evokes trust...At points the narration feels tired and obligatory, as if he simply doesn't want to talk anymore. Conversely, that is the book's appeal. There's no cutting corners, no spinmeistering. If the book could be defined as a psalm, it would read, 'How pleasant it is when fellow travelers of faith can read another's story and hear the ring of truth and, conquering that, still believe.'"
-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)""Maurice England narrates with clear delivery and a wry tone. His voice is deep and powerful, smoothly shifting from the whimsical to the intimate and engaging the listener."
-- "Publishers Weekly (audio review)""While it may very well be Brennan Manning's parting word to us, All Is Grace is no deathbed confession. In these soul-stirring pages, Brennan testifies once again of a stubborn, messy grace that does not cleanse us as much as it stains us and marks us forever as one precious to the Most High God...All Is Grace is the book for all who stumble."
