A Furious Love Is Hot on Your Trail! 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 newly repackaged edition - now with full appendix, study questions, 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."

"Brennan Manning does a masterful job of blowing the dust off of shop-worn theology and allowing God's grace to do what only God's grace can do, amaze." - Max Lucado, Bestselling author of The Gift for All People

"I found deep comfort in realizing that Jesus loves even me, a ragamuffin, just as I am." - Michael Card, Musician, recording artist, and author of A Violent Grace

"This is a zestful and accurate portrayal that tells us unmistakably that the gospel is good, dazzlingly good." - Eugene Peterson, Author of The Message
