- Church religion, Jesus
A Furious Love Is Hot on Your Trail!

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 editionâ‚¬"now with full appendix, study questions, and the authorâ‚¬s own epilogue, â‚¬Å“Ragamuffin Fifteen Years Later,â‚¬Â Brennan Manning reminds us that nothing could be further from the truth. The Father beckons us to Himself with a â‚¬Å“furious loveâ‚¬Â that burns brightly and constantly. Only when we truly embrace Godâ‚¬s grace can we bask in the joy of a gospel that enfolds the most needy of His flockâ‚¬"the â‚¬Å“ragamuffins.â‚¬Â

Are you bedraggled, beat-up, burnt-out?

Most of us believe in Godâ‚¬s graceâ‚¬"in theory. But somehow we canâ‚¬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 weâ‚¬ve done. We come to Him as ragamuffinsâ‚¬"dirty, bedraggled, and beat-up. And when we sit at His feet, He smiles upon us, the chosen objects of His â‚¬Å“furious love.â‚¬Â

Brennan Manningâ‚¬s now-classic meditation on grace and what it takes to access itâ‚¬"simple honestyâ‚¬"has changed thousands of lives. Now with a Ragamuffinâ‚¬s thirty-day spiritual journey guide, it will change yours, too.

Includes a 30-Day Spiritual Journey Guide!

â‚¬Å“Brennan Manning does a masterful job of blowing the dust off of shop-worn theology and allowing Godâ‚¬s grace to do what only Godâ‚¬s grace can doâ‚¬"amaze.â‚¬Â
-Max Lucado, Bestselling author of The Gift for All People

â‚¬Å“I found deep comfort in realizing that Jesus loves even me, a ragamuffin, just as I am.â‚¬Â
-Michael Card, Musician, recording artist, and author of A Violent Grace

â‚¬Å“This is a zestful and accurate portrayal that tells us unmistakably that the gospel is good, dazzlingly good.â‚¬Â
-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.
