'Natalie writes with the raw honesty and authenticity... This book will inspire and challenge you to rediscover that mercy is at the heart of our spiritual formation.' Olivia Amartey, Elim In a world of polarising politics, cancel culture and social media virtue signalling, we risk losing any sense of what it means to have mercy. And yet Jesus calls us to 'be merciful, just as your Father is merciful' (Luke 6.36). In this thoughtful and practical book, Natalie Williams explores what it means to be a true mercy-bringer. First, we need to develop a deep appreciation of the mercy of God, which is more astonishing than we dare to believe. As the old hymn says, 'tis mercy all when it comes to God's dealings with his children. Once we have understood that, it will transform the way we see God, ourselves and the world around us. We will be drawn closer to Jesus and, as a result, we will reflect his mercy to a world that desperately needs it. 'Challenging yet encouraging, moving yet refreshing, and theologically rich yet practically accessible.' Andrew Wilson, King’s Church London 'A much-needed book from an important voice for our times.' Graham Miller, London City Mission Contents Introduction Part 1: 'A God Merciful' Part 2: Our struggle to 'love mercy' Part 3: Merciful thinking Part 4: Merciful actions Conclusion
A book to help you rediscover the often overlooked spiritual discipline of mercy, learning how a proper understanding of God's mercy towards ourselves and others is the antidote to the conflict and anger that's so widespread in our increasingly divided world.
