“Whenever I allow anything but tenderness and compassion to dictate my response to life--be it self-righteous anger, moralizing, defensiveness, the pressing need to change others...I am alienated from my true self. My identity as Abba's child [a child of God] becomes ambiguous, tentative and confused”
― Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel

“I could more easily contain Niagara Falls in a tea cup than I can comprehend the wild, uncontainable love of God.”
― Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel

“The beauty of the ragamuffin gospel lies in the insight it offers into Jesus: the essential tenderness of His heart, His way of looking at the world, His mode of relating to you and me. 'If you really want to understand a man, don't just listen to what he says, but watch what he does.”
― Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel
