About Product:
Mercy-a crucial attribute for the Christian disciple. It is implicit in Paul's great chapter on charity, the pure love of Christ. President Gordon B. Hinckley described it as "the very essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ." It is, wrote Shakespeare, "an attribute to God himself." And the Master made clear that God will extend his much-needed mercy to the merciful.
In this thought-provoking book the author points to various ways and circumstances common to us all in which the attribute of mercy can and should play a vital part. This he does not just in theoretical terms but with all the warmth and illumination that interesting personal experiences bring. Can we learn mercy as we serve in Church callings and interact with other Church members? In what ways can we properly show mercy in marriage-to our spouse, to our children? In a world wracked by hunger and poverty, what can we do to assist the unfortunate victims? And the "enemies" we traditionally dislike, notwithstanding the command "Love your enemies"-what does mercy prompt us to do about them? What is the power of mercy in Christ's atonement? How may we follow his merciful example of living "for others"? These and other equally important questions the author explores, in his unique way, ending his book with some profiles of models of mercy.
The topics are significant and the stimulating style makes the book unusually appealing. On some issues it will challenge opinions. For many readers it will prompt a serious review of their understanding about the quality of mercy.
