I read "The Ragamuffin Gospel" about 2 years after I started going back to church again. It was such a pivotal book for me to read at the time because I was beginning to think that being a Christian was about doing right, about works. I had just finished reading James and I was completely baffled because I had not really studied and understood the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I sometimes secretly roll my eyes when people say "this book changed my life" (I know, I'm a jerk sometimes), and I won't go so far as to say that, but it certainly changed my perspective of grace. I going to have to steal this little video from you for my own blog!
