Story
Is an imposter robbing you of God's love? Many Christians have bought into the lie that we are worthy of God's love only when our lives are going well. If our families are happy or our jobs are meaningful, life is a success. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and embarrassing sins threaten to reveal our less-than-perfect identity, we scramble to keep up a good front to present to the world - and God. We cower and hide until we can rearrange the mask of perfection and look good again.

Story
Grace is the church's great distinctive. It's the one thing the world cannot duplicate, and the one thing it craves above all else - for only grace can bring hope and transformation to a jaded world. In What's So Amazing About Grace?, award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy?

Brennan Manning has been dazzingly faithful in preaching and writing variations on the ragamuffin theme, Yes, Abba is very fond of you! But today the crowds are gone and the lights are dim, the patches on his knees have faded. If he ever was a ragamuffin, truly it is now. In this his final book, Brennan roves back his past, honoring the lives of the people closest to him, family and friends who've known the saint and the sinner, the boy and the man. Far from some chronological timeline, these memories are witness to the truth of life by one who has lived it.

Story
For years, Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian's future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright asserts that Christianity's most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection, and provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth".

The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do's and don'ts - it's falling in love with God.

But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture. We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

Why must everything be so black and white? Like many of us, Derwin Gray is weary of the racial divide in our society. He longs to see hurts healed, wrongs corrected, and trust replace distrust. The good news is that the Bible has a lot to say about how to heal our persistent racial divides. In this book, popular Bible teacher Derwin Gray walks us through Scripture, showing us the heart of God—how God from the beginning envisioned a reconciled multiethnic family in loving community, reflecting his beauty and healing presence in the world. This message is central to the gospel itself.

This is the Biblical Playbook for Racial Unity

Publisher's Summary
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 new edition - now with a foreword by Michael W. Smith, testimony by Rich Mullins and the author's own epilogue, "Ragamuffin Ten Years Later," Brennan Manning reminds us that nothing could be further from the truth. The Father beckons us to Himself with a "furious love" that burns brightly and constantly. Only when we truly embrace God's grace can we bask in the joy of a gospel that enfolds the most needy of His flock - the "ragamuffins."

JUST AS WE ARE, NOT AS WE 'SHOULD' BE
“Manning is a former Roman Catholic priest who left the priesthood to marry. He has recently divorced his wife. He is a recovering alcoholic who lapses every so often. He is a product of pop-psychology and Roman Catholic mystics rather than Scripture. He is on the cutting edge of the contemplation prayer movement which is steadily leading evangelicals toward Eastern mysticism. He is questionably a universalist who has nothing good to say about the church but adores AA. Yet somehow he is all the rage among many evangelicals.”
Wait a minute. What’s wrong here? I just finished reading THE RAGAMUFFIN GOSPEL, Brennan Manning’s intensely intimate sharing about God’s unconditional love for “sinners” – the broken, the lost, the bedraggled, the hopeless, the burnt-outs and the cast-offs – and found myself wondering why he is the target of such attacks. After all, I consider RAGAMUFFIN as a life-changer, and am anxious to reread it and experience chapter 19, “Mercies: A Spiritual Retreat.” Surely this man is not the heretic portrayed by Dr. Gary Gilley.
A click quick to Wikipedia, and I found a more objective perspective:
“Born and raised in Depression-era New York City, Manning finished high school, enlisted in the US Marine Corps, and fought in the Korean War. When Manning returned to the United States, he enrolled at Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania. Upon his graduation from the seminary in 1963, Manning was ordained a Franciscan priest.
“In the late 1960s, Manning joined the Little Brothers of Jesus of Charles de Foucauld, a religious institute committed to an uncloistered, contemplative life among the poor. Manning transported water via donkey, worked as a mason's assistant and a dishwasher in France, was imprisoned (by choice) in Switzerland, and spent six months in a remote cave somewhere in the Zaragoza desert.
“In the 1970s, Manning returned to the United States and began writing after confronting his alcoholism.”
Oh … so Manning does seem to be hornless, responsible, even loving. Apparently Dr. Gilley is one in an opposition army that sees Manning as a threat to the stale Christianity of business as usual. But the former priest’s impressive bibliography of twenty-two bestselling books is, perhaps, indicative of a militia sustaining the same if not greater strength. People don’t buy books simply because they are decorative.
The thesis of THE RAGAMUFFIN GOSPEL is that God’s love for all of us is relentless … intensely raging through Jesus Christ who unabashedly loves us ragamuffins. This Jesus accepts us just as we are – sins, warts, blemishes, ugliness, sexual darkness, disobedience, and every other brokenness to which mankind is prone. He invites himself to our dinner table, and in turn insists on eating at ours. He calls the worst of us to accepting the truth that we are his beloved, and fanatically insists that nothing can ever change that. He tells us that the source of this immense and accepting love is the grace of his Father and not the man-made country club rules that stink of rejection. He is constantly throwing dinner parties for us, seating us at the best places … and he never stops saying, “I love you. Do you love me?” He urges us to lay our head on his shoulder.
Yes, the Jesus of the four gospels is the Jesus who can do all things- all things except one: stop loving his ragamuffins. He says to us, “My grace [love] is sufficient for you,” and we respond to this transforming love by developing a passionate need to be just like him, giving away healing love without charging for it, sucking up the reality of our acceptance and newness in him, and loving every single minute of it.
The country club set – those walking refrigerators who insist on strict adherence to their admission rules before outsiders can even darken their doors – have more need of a ragamuffin gospel than anyone. Open those refrigerator doors and you will see shelves neatly packed with containers of food and drink. Sadly, most of them are stamped with an expiration date long past.
Saint Brennan closes THE RAGAMUFFIN GOSPEL in thoughtful and profound appreciation of the grace that has consumed him:
“Sitting in bold relief on a navy-blue sofa in my office is a little polka-dotted rag doll. Over the last ten years, the ragamuffin mystery has laid hold of me with uncommon power. After long hours of prayer and meditation on the Scriptures and reflections on the nagging question ‘Who am I?’ a gracious God has given me the light to see myself as I really am. I now have a primary identity and a coherent sense of myself. It affects my intimacy with God, my relationships with others, and my gentleness with myself.
“Thus I want the epitaph on my tombstone to read:”

Some good Stuff
Would you listen to Ragamuffin Gospel again? Why?
I would listen to Ragamuffin Gospel again because it challenges the mind to process why someone live a Christian life and how it really affects one's character by pondering the magnificane of the love of God.
What other book might you compare Ragamuffin Gospel to and why?
I would compare Ragamuffin Gospel to Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. These books have a clear, strait forward, message that is very captivating for the analytical mind. God becomes more alive and real than in any other book a part from the Bible. All the fluff has been cut out and one is left to read direct thinking.
What aspect of Scott Brick’s performance would you have changed?
Nothing the content needed someone who could covey this strait forward thought without a listener getting lost is a sappy tone of voice and vocal inflections.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I could not turn off the player. I almost listened to it in one setting. It is some good insightful stuff!!!

Uplifting and Inspiring
What made the experience of listening to Ragamuffin Gospel the most enjoyable?
It was a favourite of a late pastor friend so as I listened I sensed his presence.
What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
He read very well and I would listen to him again.
Any additional comments?
The main point is that each and every one of us is special to God. I think it's something one can't hear enough which is why I've listened to this twice already!

I'm one of those people who hates reading but on the contrary I have my iPod glued to my hand. Having this audible book was/is amazing! I would have missed out on a lot if this weren't available due to my laziness! I recommend this book to anyone; Brennan Manning is awesome and gave me a new and greater meaning of God's grace.

What an amazing book. It rings so true for today as well. Spoiler Alert: God loves you and expects you to mess up. He knows that you will make more mistakes than you think you will. Brendan Manning tells God's story with clarity and insight.
The narrator, Scott Brick, is one of my favorites. I could listen to him reading repair manuals. Thank goodness that I don't have to.

Excellent book; poor audio book
Would you try another book from Brennan Manning and/or Scott Brick?
Brennan Manning has a wonderful way with words, and I have enjoyed each of his books that I've read. The Ragamuffin Gospel, though, is the standout. If you read only one of his works, make it this one.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator does a fine job, though he seems to take somewhat extended pauses between sentences.
Any additional comments?
This audiobook is broken up in "chapters" based on how it would fit on CDs rather than the actual book chapters. This makes it difficult to use the book in any way other than just listening straight through as though it were a novel.We're not using CDs. Fixing this would be pretty simple, and it should be done.

An essential message - but...
Essential reading for any Christian, but I personally found Philip Yancey’s title on the topic “What’s sonAmazing about Grace” much more coherent and impacting. The Ragamuffin Gospel’s style is much more idiomatic and assumes knowledge of certain scriptures. It is definitely worth the read (/listen), but if you only read one, my opinion would be to start with Philip’s.
I also think Philip’s title would be much more suitable/relatable to a new/non Christian, due to the Ragamuffin’s assumed knowledge.
The topic which both books cover, however, is absolutely, fundamentally, critical.

I need to add more words for this review to be accepted but no other words should be required.
Feeling broken, please read, think you have it all together then please read.
It will do you the world of good.
