Publisher's summary

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 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."

Grace abounds to the worst of us

Loved it. Helped me understand, even more, how much God loves me...even at my worst. Gods love & endless grace & mercy allows us the freedom to love others with that same love

Grace! It's so true, so good, too many hate it! Maybe that'll change :)

This is from the heart and Manning was not a heretic because he spent his life focused on grace. Grace isn't some license to sin but we sure wear out this patheticall

Brick brings Manning’s poetic treatise to life

I will read this book over and over through the balance of my life. It’s hard to imagine an author choosing his words more lyrically, or making his point more forcefully.

Scott Brick issues the text the reverence it’s due, while making the message feel refreshingly modern and imminent.

A beautiful book that will be sewn right into the soul of anyone who is anywhere on the spectrum of curiously peeking over the fence at belief in God to needing a routine tune-up on their long-held faith.

Read it and be enriched!

You are loved

I love the indescribable Brennan Manning. He doesn’t beat around the bush and you must slowly ingest his words a little at a time. Why? Because they’re so meaty that contemplation is frequently required. Some may breeze through but I found that fairly impossible. His reminders of God’s love for us, despite our faults and shortcomings may seem fairly simple, but accepting that love is far different. KNOWING it in your heart and soul takes a bit more commitment on the journey. Brennan is real, down to earth, conversational and delivers the message straight to your brain while the rest of the day it will slowly melt into your heart. This is not meant to be labor-intensive, but also cannot be rushed in my opinion. God’s word does not return void—and Brennan puts it out there for you to absorb. If you have not read “Abba’s Child” it is required reading by this author.

Loved by a Ragamuffin

This book has touched so much. I couldn’t put it down. I would read along as I listened in the Audible app. That is the best way to focus on the words and not drift off in thought.

At 48 I'm only beginning to understand Abba's love

This book is a must read for the rogue believer. For the broken, rebels, outliers that have been counted out, betrayed and shunned. You truly need to read this and others like God's Furious Longing.
