Brennan Manning's first book, published by Dimension Books in 1970, while he was a Franciscan priest and before the ministry of retreats and preaching that made him known among evangelicals. Library records show a later Dimension printing in 1976 under the subtitle Breaking Through to Christian Maturity. It belongs to the small group of books he published with Dimension, a Catholic publisher, in the 1970s and early 1980s, before Revell, NavPress, Multnomah and HarperSanFrancisco took up his work. Its contents were not examined in this pass.
