Publisher's Synopsis
A Month's Journey with the Merciful Jesus 978-1-941243-52-7
This book will take you on a journey of mercy through the life of Jesus as found in the four Gospels. Acclaimed author and international speaker Allan F. Wright, shares insights from the scripture and everyday life so we may encounter Jesus who is mercy Himself. Each passage of Sacred Scripture, short reflection, and prayer is designed to have you experience more fully the mercy of God and, in turn, be a more active participant in sharing that mercy with others. This is a simple and profound way to pray with Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John on your schedule through the weeks, months, and years. Lifelike illustrations of the Gospel writers help us to see them as ordinary men with extraordinary capacity to love.
A daily reflection book on the mercy of Jesus is a powerful spiritual tool, offering consistent nourishment for the soul and a deeper appreciation of Christ's boundless compassion. In a world often marked by struggle and judgment, such a book provides a steady reminder of God's forgiving love, making it especially valuable for personal growth and peace.

Firstly, it fosters a habit of intentional prayer. Daily readings--perhaps drawing from scripture like the Parable of the Prodigal Son or St. Faustina's Divine Mercy revelations--focus the mind on Jesus' mercy, encouraging reflection on how it applies to one's life. This regularity builds spiritual discipline, turning fleeting thoughts into a sustained conversation with God.
Secondly, it heals and uplifts. Meditating on Christ's mercy, as seen in His forgiveness of sinners or His sacrifice on the cross, offers solace to those burdened by guilt, failure, or suffering. It reassures readers that no sin is beyond redemption, fostering hope and self-compassion. For example, a reflection on "Father, forgive them" (Luke 23:34) might inspire letting go of resentment.
Finally, it shapes character. Daily exposure to mercy's lessons--patience, kindness, forgiveness--molds individuals to mirror Jesus' love in their actions, enhancing relationships and moral living. Compact and accessible, such a book fits into busy schedules, making divine mercy a constant companion. Ultimately, a daily reflection book on Jesus' mercy deepens faith, heals wounds, and transforms hearts, anchoring believers in the transformative power of God's unrelenting love.
