Book Description:
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."

IMHO, this book weighs too heavily towards the side of grace in the great balance of grace and works. Overwhelming Grace is a wonderful place to start, but we should strive for holiness. Great writer, but... wouldn't read it again and would be hesitant to recommend it to anyone searching for answers

Nicely written with down to earth subject matter. Good for those who struggle with feeling "good enough" for God's love.

This is an awesome book that showed the unyielding and ever present love that God has for us - whether we accept it or not. His furious love for us is all around and all encompassing. The story of the prodigal son takes on meaning and true understanding. Highly recommended reading.
