The Ragamuffin Gospel

The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning emphasizes the message of God's unconditional love and grace.

The book reminds readers that God accepts them as they are, broken and imperfect, and that His love is not based on their performance or worthiness.

Manning argues that recognizing our brokenness and need for God’s grace allows us to drop pretenses and be merciful to others.

The book highlights Jesus' interactions with sinners and the New Testament's passages on divine forgiveness, emphasizing that God makes the first move in our relationship with Him.
