A book by Brennan Manning that speaks about God's amazing grace and His relentless love for us all.

The Ragamuffin Gospel was written for the bedraggled, beat-up, and burnt-out.
It is for the sorely burdened who are still shifting the heavy suitcase from one hand to the other.

It is for the wobbly and weak-kneed who know they don't have it altogether and are too proud to accept the handout of God's amazing grace.

It is for inconsistent, unsteady disciples whose cheese is falling off their cracker.

It is for poor, weak, sinful men and women with hereditary faults and limited talents.

It is for earthen vessels who shuffle along on feet of clay.

It is for the bent and the bruised who feel that their lives are a grave disappointment to God.

It is for smart people who know they are stupid and honest disciples who admit they are scalawags.

The Ragamuffin Gospel is a book for anyone who has grown weary and discouraged along the Way.

JESUS LOVES YOU

The deepest awareness of ourselves is that we are deeply loved by Jesus Christ and have done nothing to earn it or deserve it. God, we are Your beloved ragamuffins.
