People of God's Mercy: What 14 figures from Scripture reveal about Divine Compassion

Marci Alborghetti brings her unique narrative voice to 14 Biblical figures who famously experienced God s mercy. We see God granting selfish, petty, brother-killing Cain protection from his enemies. We meet Leah, worn down by jealousy, yet given the gift of strong sons. Murderers like Moses and David, who would be subject to the death penalty today, are shaped by God's mercy into two of the most revered and important men in history. Their personal stories, along with those of New Testament people like Martha, Matthew, and Peter, are pieced together imaginatively using Biblical and historical evidence. Each chapter is a page-turner, and together with thoughtful reflection questions, help us turn our attention to our own experiences of God s mercy, and how we might extend it to all of our brothers and sisters.Marci Alborghetti;, Marci Alborghetti
