Synopsis"Brennan Manning does a masterful job of blowing the dust off of shop-worn theology and allowing God's grace to do what only God's grace can do-amaze."-Max Lucado Are you bedraggled, beat-up, burnt-out? Most of us believe in God's grace-in theory. But somehow we can't seem to apply it in our daily lives. We continue to see Him as a small-minded bookkeeper, tallying our failures and successes on a score sheet. Yet God gives us His grace, willingly, no matter what we've done. We come to Him as ragamuffins-dirty, bedraggled, and beat-up. And when we sit at His feet, He smiles upon us, the chosen objects of His "furious love." Brennan Manning's now-classic meditation on grace and what it takes to access it-simple honesty-has changed thousands of lives. Now with a Ragamuffin's thirty-day spiritual journey guide, it will change yours, too. Includes a 30-Day Spiritual Journey Guide!, If you feel like a "ragamuffin," you're not alone, but this Gospel is for all God's children! Popular author Brennan Manning shows us that we condemn ourselves more than our Father does., "Brennan Manning does a masterful job of blowing the dust off of shop-worn theology and allowing God's grace to do what only God's grace can do--amaze."--Max Lucado Are you bedraggled, beat-up, burnt-out?

Many believers feel stunted in their Christian growth. We beat ourselves up over our failures and, in the process, pull away from God because we subconsciously believe He tallies our defects and hangs His head in disappointment. In this newly repackaged edition--now with full appendix, study questions, and the author's own epilogue, ""Ragamuffin" Ten Years Later," Brennan Manning reminds us that nothing could be further from the truth. The Father beckons us to Himself with a "furious love" that burns brightly and constantly. Only when we truly embrace God's grace can we bask in the joy of a gospel that enfolds the most needy of His flock--the "ragamuffins." Are you bedraggled, beat-up, burnt-out?

Eugene Peterson Author of "The Message" Story Behind the Book The world assigns value to people using measurable standards. Someone is a successful student if she receives As. Someone is a strong athlete if he runs five miles a day. The Lord, however, knows nothing of standards. "The Ragamuffin Gospel" was inspired by Brennan Manning after he discovered firsthand what it means to live by grace instead of performance. His words bring new life and sweet refreshment to Christians who are tired of never measuring up., Are you bedraggled, beat-up, burnt-out? Most of us believe in God's grace--in theory.

  • Nothing pretentious or elitists in these pages, but you will find Truth.

    Brennan Manning provides a raw, straight from (and to) the heart presentation of who/what/where/how & why Christians are. Where we can be found (everywhere), how we are found (right where we are no matter how bad) and why we are found there. How that condition is no match for the Grace of God so abundantly...no...overwhelmingly available to EVERY man, woman and child until the day of Judgement. There is no haughtiness of 'proper church folk' here, only the unwavering message that God will meet you where you are and stay with you no matter how much you may struggle with the effort to understand the extent that He has gone to in order to make the way Home open to us, no matter how fallen we recognize ourselves to be, or how often. This book shows us we are, each of us to a person, Ragamuffins all...but we are Ragamuffins that are Loved so completely it boggles the mind (but not the heart - it knows).

  • Great Read!

    I read this book before...and I am reminded of the importance of understanding God's grace. I am comforted to know that we cannot earn grace...it is given to us as a result of God's love for us. Our works cannot earn it...we work as a result of our joyfulness...not out of obligation. We need to rest in His grace and the result of our love will shine through.

  • We are all ragamuffins in one way or another,.

    Brings real life events to light, touches our emotional center, making us realize how "furiously" God truly does love us. A helpful read for those who just find it too hard to believe they are unconditionally loved despite all.
