Description
From the beloved author of The Ragamuffin Gospel comes a book for anyone who has ever felt left out, lonely or worthless. In The Boy Who Cried Abba, Brennan Manning tells the heart-warming parable of Willie Juan-orphaned, physically disabled and friendless-whose lonely life is changed forever when he meets the wise and mysterious Medicine Man. Through his friendship with the Medicine Man, Willie Juan learns about acceptance and unconditional love. This book is a charming retelling of the ancient gospel story of forgiveness, acceptance and joy in friendship with God. Included is a foreword by Christian pop-princess Amy Grant and a glowing endorsement from Christian superstar Max Lucado.
