Looking for a gift idea that is a great reminder of God's love for us? Here's one - a coffee-table book inspired by Brennan Manning's The Ragamuffin Gospel. Compiled by Jimmy Abegg, a member of the late Rich Mullins' Ragamuffin Band, this book is a collection of Abegg's beautiful black and white photographs, along with poems, prayers, and essays by Henri Nouwen, St. Francis of Assisi,Christian artists such as Michael W. Smith and Ashley Cleveland, as well as an interview with Manning himself. All of them deal with prayer: both the struggles of when it feels they are going unanswered and those when God's voice can clearly be heard. Know someone who needs cheering up? Know someone going through a trying time? This makes a great gift for them or for anyone who considers themselves spiritual ragamuffins.

I had been anxiously awaiting the release of this collection for some time now and I was not disappointed. Everything from the front cover to the amazing poems and stories are dripping with inspiration and God's touch. I cannot think of a better companion to the album "Prayers of a Ragamuffin". Even the beautiful s are prayers in and of themselves. Finally, check out one of Rich Mullin's final published writings titled, "Early Morning Prayer."

Prayer. Mediate. Love. God. Jesus. These words meant a lot to me, but now I have found a new meaning to these words. This book contains the deepest and most intamite prayers. I recomend it to anyone.

After 6 weeks this book arrived in my mailbox and it was worth the wait. This book is strongly indicative of the artistic crafting meshed with honesty that is such a feature of the Ragamuffins and Rich Mullins. There are many jewels and insights into the art of prayer ... each writer brings a different perspective that not only enhances the reader's understanding of prayer, but draws them into that longing for communion with God. There is a rare honesty that is refreshing in each of the writings and the photos enhance the book. Its a gem! This is the type of book that will make an excellent gift for anyone who hungers for the reality and presence of God ... BUY IT!!!
