For two millennia Christians have echoed the pleas of blind men and beggars, "Christ, have mercy!" These words are part of the historic liturgy (the Kyrie) and have been sighed on deathbeds and in sick rooms and after natural and man-made disasters. But what does it mean to ask our Lord and Savior for mercy? And what about Christ's command to be merciful, even as God has been merciful to us? Through Scripture study, real-life experiences, and the writings of Lutheran Church Fathers, Christ Have Mercy urges Christians to consider the innumerable opportunities we have to show mercy-to fellow Christians and to anyone God places in our path.

Sometimes "required reading" for classes is worth the time and effort. This little book is one that definitely fits in that category.

Firmly grounded in sound doctrine, this book points optimistically to how "Faith and Works" reflect what we really believe about God and His Mercy towards us. This is easy to read, easy to consider, and an excellent "motivator."

You may want to put this book on your shelf! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5001293-christ-have-mercy.

(I'm not really sure what page I'm on, I am reading the Kindle edition…) (

This book is a look at mercy--the act of giving help to those who need it--as expressed in the Church and in the life of her members. Writing to Christians, Rev. Harrison weaves stories of mercy with the teachings of the church, showing how the former is built upon the latter. It's book is full of good information and encouragement to those who want to share the mercy of Christ with others.
