description: In this powerful book drawn from lived experience and the pages of the Bible, Father Brennan Manning deals with the central spiritual problem and illness of our the fragmentation of self as a result of guilt, fear, anger, and other matters that psychologists classify under the heading "self hatred." The term self-hatred means all those attitudes, postures, positions of life from which we fail to affirm the meaning of existence as a gift. The author treats these matters in great detail and shows how the life of Jesus offers a contrary pattern or paradigm to the pattern of life exhibited by contemporary men and women.
