Brennan has spent the past 40 years helping others experience the reality of God’s love and grace. It’s at the heart of everything he’s written and done. A recovering alcoholic and former Franciscan priest, Brennan’s spiritual journey has taken him down a variety of different paths. He has taught seminarians, spoken to packed arenas, lived in a cave and labored with the poor in Spain, and ministered to “shrimpers” in Alabama. Brennan is perhaps best known as the author of the contemporary classics, The Ragamuffin Gospel, Abba’s Child, and Ruthless Trust. Brennan’s latest book is The Importance of Being Foolish.
