Books like The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning


Brennan Manning’s classic book invites readers to let go of the idea that God keeps score of success and failure. Through honest reflection, it shows how the Father’s furious love reaches even the most worn‑and‑tattered believers—so‑called ragamuffins. The newest edition offers a guide for reflection and prayer and Manning’s epilogue, "The Scandal of Grace, Ten Years Later," deepening the practice of living in the grace He freely gives.
