Description
“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!

5By BoingfishBrennon caputures many points about serious issues framed in the most important issue of all - being a chrisitian is a "love affair", not a political party or the driven moral police. We share " The One" that died to be with us. Nothing can be more important.Worth reading!
5By jbrinkmanmdFor anyone struggling to understand God's Grace, i.e. how to not only know it in your head, but to understand and own it in your heart.
