Ragman: And Other Cries Of Faith( Series - Wangerin, Walter )

An all new updated, definitive edition of this Christian classic.
Ragman and Other Cries of Faith helped establish Wangerin's reputation as one of the most cutting-edge Christian writers on the market. This edition adds eleven new pieces written in a variety of styles ranging from gently
reflective to incantatory.

Updated with eleven new stories and meditations, this Gold Medallion-winning classic interweaves vivid stories, deep meditations, and provocative allegories that together explore the power and meaning of love within an often inhumane urban landscape. The opening chapter, "Ragman," remains one of Walter Wangerin Jr.'s most beloved works and leads the reader to thirty-three other writings, all bearing the author's trademark poignancy and lyricism. Ranging from gentle reflections to heart-rending invocations, these selections are powerful, thought-provoking explorations of the meaning of faith, the person of Christ, and the communion of believers. Again and again, Wangerin's cries of faith touch our deepest pains with rays of joyful healing.
