All Is Grace: A Ragamuffin Memoir

About this ebook

It has been over twenty years since the publication of The Ragamuffin Gospel, a book many claim as the shattering of God’s grace into their lives. Since that time, Brennan Manning has been dazzingly faithful in preaching and writing variations on that singular 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 – All Is Grace. 

Ratings and reviews

An amazing book, full of hope. Written with honesty and I'm sure, will give hope to many. The love of Christ seems to shine through this man🙏🏼

Brennan Manning's courage in sharing his true self is a priceless gift for those Ragamuffins, like me, who all but gave up on God because we felt we never could be "good enough" for Him.

Brennan managed to explain Romans 7:24-8:1 in the pages of his memoir giving hope to all who are struggling along way.
