Publisher Description

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.”

"This book is passionate, intellectual, and inspiring. Perhaps the best book written on the topic of grace and God's furious love for people. Manning's writing glows as Moses faced glowed after being in God's presence. It is well worth reading and taking to heart."

— Chris (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Brennan does a masterful job of blowing the dust off of shopworn theology and allowing God’s grace to do what only God’s grace can do—amaze.”

    — Max Lucado, New York Times bestselling author of Outlive Your Life and Fearless
  • “This is a zestful and accurate portrayal that tells us unmistakably that the gospel is good, dazzlingly good.”

    — Eugene Peterson, author of The Message
  • “Manning’s work comes with a foreword and a testimony, both evidence of its power. That’s a heavy load, but the book largely lives up to it. Scott Brick’s delivery helps; it may even be better read aloud than silently because Manning writes so much for the ear…Brick picks up this cadence and pounds away at Manning’s message of an all-embracing love that emphasizes grace over judgment, perhaps grace even over dogma. Brick’s voice is both dramatic and reassuring.”

    " It had some good tidbits, but the book was very scatterbrained. I have heard all of Brett Manning's things before. He didn't know how to organize his thoughts, so he put them all out there in a random order. After I was done, I didn't even know what I read. And he is elevating the gift (grace) above the giver (God). I thought that this book would be a little bit better. People have elevated this book way too high. "

    " I pray that I will live more fully into the "folly" of the gospel after reading this book. Manning is validating, convicting, kind, and strong about living a life of love. To follow Christ is to stutter, fall, and then, get back up and keep moving towards Him. "

    " I am definitely feeling bedraggled, beat up, and burnt out, but this book did nothing for me. It was interesting to read about Manning's thoughts on who Jesus was and why he was a lover of sinners, but to someone who is not comfortable in her relationship with Christ, it was a little discouraging.
