No Mercy24 reviews
John Walsh
Atria, 1998
Solid Story Lines - Interesting Reading
I grew up in Westfield, New Jersey where John List murdered his family. I remember clearly how these murders created fear in our town. He hid from authorities for nearly 20-years before America's Most Wanted aired a profile that led to his capture. This is just one of the stories in this book that would get 10-stars if ...(this website) gave out that many. John Walsh deserves a lot of credit ...

Angel of Hope (Mercy Trilogy)38 reviews
Lurlene McDaniel
Topeka Bindery, 2000
Just Beautiful Review
Heather Barlow, the main character in Angel of Mercy, was back from Africa as a missoionary, and was trying to readjust to the big Miami lifestyle she used to be acustomed to. Although she was happy to return home to her family, she could not forget about losing her beloved Ian, or about little baby Alice, the child that she rescued that needed surgery. Heather was so sad to leave, nothing could ...

Evidence of Mercy/Justifiable Means/Ulterior Motives/Presumption of Guilt (Sun Coast Chronicles 1-4)11 reviews
Terri Blackstock
Thomas Nelson, 2005
Fantastic series at a fantastic price!
I read the Sun Coast Chronicles series almost a year ago and can't say enough about Terri Blackstock's ability to weave suspense, mystery, romance and inspiration in such an entertaining package. In the Sun Coast Chronicles, there are four stories with interrelated characters in the same town in California. Each hero/heroine is forced to deal with something outside themselves, usually a bad ...

Everest : Mountain Without Mercy51 reviews
Broughton Coburn
National Geographic, 1997
Mt Everest: spectacular photography
I bought this book for the photography alone: this is as close as I am ever likely to get to the Himalayas.
The photographs are spectacular, and I can see why so many people are challenged to want to make the journey to Base Camp if not further. Appearances can be deceptive: beautiful colour photographs portray a seemingly benevolent picture of Everest which is quite at odds with reality.

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy in Song13 reviews
Marian Helpers
Marian Press, 2004
St. Faustina's intercessory prayer for mankind
I was introduced to this music at a recent ACTS retreat in South Texas. The musicians for the retreat had learned this particular arrangement and taught it to the retreat members. Singing it daily with 60 other retreatants in a small chapel became a highlight of the retreat. I have sent copies to my best friends.

To Love Mercy26 reviews
Frank S. Joseph
Mid-Atlantic Highlands Publishing, 2006
Strongly Recommended
I've never read a story quite like To Love Mercy, but I wish there were others like it. The unique way the book was written and laid-out really kept me reading and eager to find out what was going to happen next.
I am no author, but I know that writing from the perspective of someone else takes a lot of talent. Frank Joseph did this fluently and creatively, which provided me with complete ...

The Diary of Saint Maria Faustina: Divine Mercy in My Soul28 reviews
Faustina Kowalska
Marian Pr, 2000
Buy the book and study it.
I found this book to be a wonderful aid to my spiritual life. At one point in the book Jesus tells Sister Faustina to write in her diary because it will be helpful to souls who would read it later.
I am one of those souls. At times I felt as if Christ was speaking to me through her. This book helped me so much to understand more fully how vast is the love of God. So vast that none of us will ...

Peanuts: The Art of Charles M. Schulz43 reviews
Charles M. Schulz
Pantheon, 2001
In a word, this book is FUN.
This is my first Peanuts hardback, and it's already taken a special spot in my heart. I've been a Peanuts fan from my childhood, and this book gives a glimpse not just into the history of the strip, but also into the history of the creator of the strip. As I understand it, in this book are never-before-seen examples of Mr. Schulz's sketchpads. Some that were never published before in their raw, ...

Mercy for Eating Disorders12 reviews
Nancy Alcorn
Providence House Publishers, 2003
Real stories, encouragement for many
I've read Nancy Alcorn before and she continues to share the REAL deal. This book contains real stories--it differs from your other pop culture books because the stories share answers to the tough problems, not just "learn how to live with your problems and live a functional life." Thanks for providing another resource for devestating issue of eating disorders--I know it will help many.

The Church's Most Powerful Novenas10 reviews
Michael Dubruiel
Our Sunday Visitor, 2006
Great Prayer Book
This is a small prayer book full of big-time punch. I always find it hard to review prayer books. Either you like them or you don't, which is like most books, but unlike fiction or theology it is a much more personal reaction. That being said, this is a great book. I wish there were a hard cover edition so it could take more of a beating.
Michael Dubrueil does an amazing job in just over 350 ...

Undressing Mercy11 reviews
Deanna Lee
Kensington, 2006
I was very impressed
With the writing of this book. The way Shamus Montgomery and Mercy Rothell were portrayed, captured and held my attention all the way to the end.
I could really sympathize with Mercy. The emotional breakdown she fought to keep in control from her rapist "Jeff King."
I too, had been in that kind of situation. I also understood why she didn't file charges on him in the beginning. That Shamus ...

John Kretschmer
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2006
Could not put it down
This is a most excellent book which will sure become a sailing book classic. It tells the story how the paths of an American, an Australian, a Frenchman and a Brazilian in three different vessels crossed each other in the eyes of hurricane Lenny. With the insight of someone who seems to have lived their lives Kretschmer sketches us why they were sailing, what they loved about sailing, and why ...

a life changer
I cannot say enough about this book. I am a stay at home mom of 3 under 5 and managed to read this in a weekend! I felt like the author came over for coffee and stayed a while. What a blessing. My book club just finished discussing it and it is a favorite for each of us. I mailed a copy to five other friends. If you are in the midst of motherhood, please do your soul a favor and read this ...

Laura Hayes Lagana
Xlibris Corporation, 2001
Touched By Angels of Mercy
I salute Laura Lagana for her timely efforts in producing this book. Now more than ever, during the nursing shortage, nurses need to be reminded of the contribution that they make and feel their caring efforts are not in vain. This collection of stories is a valuable asset to the nursing community as well as the consumer. It includes real-life stories of events and emotions that were experienced ...

Book of Mercy8 reviews
Leonard Cohen
Villard, 1984
The Psalms, Updated
Perhaps Leonard Cohen has never been a King, as was David, but the passion of his reflections truly invites comparison. Cohen struggles with G-d, in the finest tradition of Judaism-- indeed, of all spiritual combat. So he both speaks to G-d, and he listens. His listening compels me to listen with my own feeble ears. This is a book for all spiritual combatants, whether Jewish, Christian, or ...

Six Hours One Friday: Anchoring to the Power of the Cross10 reviews
Max Lucado
Multnomah Books, 1999
He puts it in language we can relate to today
I have several of Max Lucado's books, and have never been disappointed. This book puts Jesus death and resurrection in language and thoughts we can under today without losing the biblical meaning. He creates a clear picture and stirs up emotion. Most of the time he brings in someone else's point of view that maybe you hadn't thought of. I highly recommend this book, I read it every Easter.

Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners: Or Brief Faithful Relation Exceeding Mercy God Christ his Poor ...8 reviews
John Bunyan
Penguin Classics, 1987
There's hope for you too in God's Abounding Grace
A lot of us are familiar with John Bunyan as the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, whose influence in Christendom is second to the Bible. Bunyan was a preacher, a prolific writer and a shining saint for God. However when we read this book we find out that he was an atheist and infidel in his youth, enjoying sin and rebellious towards God. Inwardly he suffered from tormented nightmares of demons ...
