The Wisdom Of Tenderness What Happens When God S Fierce

NIV, 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 9-point type size
