“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

― Blake Crouch, Recursion

“The Christian with depth is the person who has failed and who has learned to live with it.”
― Brennan Manning, Ragamuffin Gospel
