I just finished reading a book by Brennan Manning called "The Ragamuffin Gospel". It had been recommended to me by many people, and I finally had the time to read it. I would highly recommend it to you, as it is a GREAT reminder of the power of God’s grace in our lives. Here is an excerpt from its back cover:
For more than 15 years, Manning’s bestseller The Ragamuffin Gospel has reminded us that Jesus did not come for the pretty, pious and powerful. Instead, he came for the "bedraggled, beat-up and burnt-out" ragamuffins who desperately need his grace. Dispelling the myth that you must work to receive God’s gift of grace and joy, Manning, a fellow ragamuffin, reveals the true nature of a freely-given and unrelenting grace that’s available to all. Drop the burden of never measuring up and revel in the comfort of a God who loves you for who you are – not for who you think you should be.
Hope you enjoy it!
