Mannings meditations will appeal to thoughtful readers of every persuasion." -- "Library Journal" "I used to think that grace is what happens when your toast falls butter-side-up. But thats not grace, its good fortune. Grace is what helps you celebrate the joy of a good landing and tolerate the disappointment of a bad one." -- Martha Manning Details ISBN0062513125 Author Martha Manning Year 1997 ISBN-10 0062513125 ISBN-13 9780062513120 Format Paperback Short Title CHASING GRACE Language English Media Book DEWEY B Residence VA, US Subtitle Reflections of a Catholic Girl, Grown Up DOI 10.1604/9780062513120 UK Release Date 1997-08-05 Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 1997-08-05 NZ Release Date 1997-08-05 US Release Date 1997-08-05 Pages 240 Publication Date 1997-08-05 Audience General Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Imprint Collins Place of Publication New York Imprint US HarperOne Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
