Book Description.
“Experience the kind of mercy the world can’t give — but your soul desperately needs.”
Mercy is not weakness. It’s the heartbeat of God’s character. In a time of division and hardness, God’s Abundant Mercy invites you into 40 days of walking closely with Him, learning to receive His compassion — and to give it away.
At this stage of life, you’ve seen what happens when mercy is missing — in relationships, in the church, in the world. This 40-day devotional is a chance to rediscover mercy as God defines it: a powerful, holy gift that changes hearts, heals wounds, and strengthens faith for the long haul.
Mercy. In a world of anger, division, and hurt, it can feel like a foreign language. But it’s God’s native tongue.
When God reveals His character in the Bible, an important attribute He emphasizes is His mercy. But in a world so often damaged by violence, pride, and hypocrisy, mercy can feel unfamiliar and unrealistic.
In 40 devotional readings, Lori Stanley Roeleveld goes straight to God’s Word to define mercy. Weaving Scripture with personal stories of hardship and resilience, Lori asks the difficult questions about biblical mercy. How does God’s mercy fit with His holiness and justice? How should His compassion to us influence how we treat others?
With convicting questions for individual reflection or group study, each reading challenges you to learn more about who God is and how you can reflect His mercy every day in your interactions and relationships.
“God is great in mercy. This is a beautiful truth because we can turn to God at any time for as long as we have breath.” —Lori Stanley Roeleveld
