Ragamuffin Bible

Do you believe that God not only loves you, but that he also likes you?
It's just one of the soul-searching questions posed by bestselling author Brennan Manning who confesses he has been 'John the beloved, Peter the coward, and Thomas the doubter all before the waitress brought the check.'
The NIV Ragamuffin Bible offers a collection of Manning’s raw, painfully honest, yet grace-filled devotions, meditations, and reflections of his journey limping back to---like the prodigal son---his overjoyed father. When you journey through this Bible, you will likewise find yourself returning to your Heavenly Father, basking in the knowledge that God not only loves you, he delights in you.
Features:* Complete text of the world’s most popular modern-English Bible, the NIV* 104 Devotions guide you into a deeper connection to God and his Word * 250 Reflections help you understand what it means to be a child of God* 150 Quotes offer short but thoughtful insights into God’s kingdom.


I love Bibles,  and when this one came a long I was naturally curious.  I am amazed has a beautiful cover and the print is easy to read.

The uniqueness of this Bible is that is has the thoughts of Brennan Manning throughout; giving us glimpses of God's unconditional love.   You will be reading along in the Bible and there is a thought from Mr. Manning there for you to ponder and think about.   Very attractively put together, I think that this is a winner.
