With "Patched Together," Brennan Manning reminds us that the freedom and joy of acceptance is rooted in the forgiving love of God. From the beloved author of "The Ragamuffin Gospel" comes a tender story for anyone who has ever said: "life didn't quite turn out the way I thought it would, but..." In this warm and charming three-part story, Willie Juan moves from orphaned boy to prodigal adult to ragamuffin friend of Abba. As with any parable, there is one overarching truth: the unconditional love of God. "Patched Together" is a charming retelling of the Gospel story of forgiveness, acceptance, and joy in God's friendship.

From the Back Cover:

 “Patched Together is a very special story to me. It is, in many ways, my story ...”

  These words begin this rich story from Brennan Manning, the beloved author of The Ragamuffin Gospel. Follow the character Willie Juan, a lonely boy who finds belonging in the eyes of the mysterious Man of Sorrows, through three distinct seasons of his life: morning, noon, and night. Each season is filled with memorable characters, significant wounds, and lingering questions.   More than a charming tale, Patched Together is a remarkable story in which readers will see themselves. Willie Juan and readers alike will be connected by the thread that ties all the patches together—the everlasting truth that in the end, only Abba’s love remains.   From much-loved author Brennan Manning, comes a book for those who long to believe in the God who sees beauty in imperfection.
