A Mad Love and a Shameless Audacity

In A Mad Love and a Shameless Audacity, Brandon Ryan gets personal about his journey with the grace of God. Battling through the challenges of cerebral palsy and the discouragement of friends seeming to lose their faith along the way, Brandon doubles down on a hunger to know Christ more and to accept the acceptance that belongs to him as a son of God. Shameless audacity – the courage to be himself and to press onward in life – comes from receiving the mad love with which God loves him in Christ. Befitting his martial arts background, Brandon Ryan writes like a grappler. He wrestles between self-criticism and self-acceptance, between God’s grace and human choices to flee from grace. This is not a book that ties up all loose ends. This is a transparent book that gets into issues that don’t necessarily get talked about when Christian men get together. But they are real and the places where God’s grace means the most. A Mad Love and a Shameless Audacity brings a message of encouragement for readers who feel alone in their struggles, and a bracing challenge for those who are willing to believe in Christ as Savior: to accept that our identity in Christ – not the picture we’ve had of ourselves in the past – is who we truly are now.
