Brennan Manning changed my viewpoint on Grace with his book "Raggamuffin Gospel" and upon learning of his passing (this past year) I felt it was appropriate to read a book in his memory. As being part of a larger world full of mixed baggage, I find his view of God compelling, and full of fresh air from the legalistic voices leading the far right (and far left..for that matter). This isn't a religious blog, but anyone soul searching, or crying out for mercy and asking the great question of "Is there a God?" And if so..."Who is He?" Or "What is this complicated thing called Grace?" should read his work.
Manning is straight forward in this book and its a great read...especially for those working on patching the damage done from organized religion and the church.
We're a messy people!
