Reddit mentions of The Ragamuffin Gospel

My pastor often says, "your history does not determine your destiny". My poem on this very subject is in one of his books, "Moving Beyond Mediocrity" and if you can find a way to send me a private contact method, I'll send you a copy of the poem which may well help you move on. Alternatively perhaps I'll gather up the courage to post it on a blog somewhere. (EDIT: just realised Reddit has a PM style feature. Sent you the poem).

Also, please read (even in preference to my pastor's book) the phenomenal Ragamuffin Gospel which was instrumental in my own recovery from utterly-failed-church-planter back to productive-and-sincere-follower-of-Jesus :-)
