Mathew N. Schmalz 
Mercy Matters [EPUB ebook] 
Opening Yourself to the Life-Changing Gift

âWherever there are Christians, everyone should find an oasis of mercy.â âPope Francis Whether dealing with adoption, sobriety, bullying, the Boston Marathon bombing, or friendship with a Jehovahâs Witness, Mathew Schmalzâs own life serves as the backdrop for his reflections on the complex nature of mercyâhow we give it, and how we receive it. From a home for lepers in India to a halfway house in the Bronx, the author probes his experiences to reveal mercy as a virtue that doesnât necessarily come easily, but is infinitely rewarding. Discussion and reflection questions at the end of each chapter allow you to dig deeper into your own ideas about mercy, what it looks like in your life, and how to move toward a more merciful existence. Perfect for individual or group study.
