Biography
Born and raised in Depression-era New York City, Manning finished high school, enlisted in the US Marine Corps, and fought in the
Korean War. After returning to the United States, he enrolled at Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania. Upon his
graduation from the seminary in 1963, Manning was ordained aFranciscan priest.[2]

In the late 1960s, Manning joined the Little Brothers of Jesus of Charles de Foucauld, a religious institute committed to an
uncloistered, contemplative life among the poor. Manning transported water via donkey, worked as a mason's assistant and a
dishwasher in France, was imprisoned (by choice) in Switzerland, and spent six months in a remote cave somewhere in the Zaragoza
desert.[5] In the 1970s, Manning returned to theUnited States and began writing after confronting hisalcoholism.

Singer-songwriter Rich Mullins named his band, A Ragamuffin Band, after one of Manning's books.[6] Warren Barfield's music is
-songwriter Matthew Perryman Jones.[7]
also often inspired by Manning, as is the work of singer

The following quote appeared in the prelude to dc Talk's song "What if I Stumble?" It also appeared on an intro track for the
Christian metalcore bandWar of Ages on its album Fire From the Tomb.

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk
out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.
