Moving stories which give fresh insite into God's Love,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ragman: And Other Cries of Faith (Paperback)
Each short story is a new glimpse of God's love for us all. Letter to my Brother Gregory... is the best admonition for a Christian marriage that I have ever read. It clearly reveals the importance of God's role in our marriages and will surprise most who read it. I have enclosed copies of Ragman in wedding presents with a note for the Newlyweds. The title story will make you cry.

This review is from: Ragman and Other Cries of Faith (Paperback)
RAGMAN AND OTHER CRIES OF FAITH is a deeply moving collection of works concerning the Christian faith, written by Walt Wangerin, Jr. about some of his experiences as a pastor in the inner city. The title work, "Ragman" is a story that is often used as a skit/readers theatre throughout the country and is basically an updated tale about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The book includes poems, plays, sermons, and many great stories because as Wangerin writes, stories are what make a pastor. The tales are all personal and most are moving. They examine a deep and living faith that sees the work of God everywhere: from a naked, homebound parishoner who smells like urine to the painful death of a young woman to a crazy woman shooting a gun at no one in the middle of the street. This is a great book for any pastor, for anyone who has done urban missions, or for anyone looking for a book that illustrates the very real ways God is working in our world today. Highly recommended.

Touching stories to warm the soul,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ragman: And Other Cries of Faith (Paperback)
This book was intriguing and spiritually uplifting. From the beginning when I read about the Ragman that came to heal I was captured. The Easter story written as a play was moving and the to learn about the story of the Easter Lilly brought me to tears. This book is for all ages. It teaches us about Christ's unconditional love and his unfailing servanthood to us.
