Fierce Mercy: Daring to Live Out God's Compassion in Bold and Practical Ways - Paperback

by Abby Johnson (Author), Cindy Lambert (With)

Abby Johnson thought she knew what mercy was when she ushered desperate women toward abortion as the director of a Planned Parenthood facility. She was wrong. It wasn't until she understood the blood on her hands that she personally experienced the power of God's fierce yet tender mercy to transform her life. But she never imagined what could happen once she allowed that very mercy to infiltrate her life and spill out into a hurting world.

In Fierce Mercy, Abby calls you to experience a transformation of your own. Against the backdrop of her first decade involved in the pro-life movement, Abby helps you discover God's unrestrained mercy at work in your own life and take steps toward becoming a channel of that life-changing mercy in the world around you. She shows you how to model God's mercy, freely offer mercy to those who seem undeserving, respond with mercy when others err or offend, and bear witness to God's unrestrained compassion so that others may know him.

This is Abby's challenge to you: dare to do what is hard, what is right, and what is good. And do all of it in love.

"While many, if not most, hide or even double down after realizing a fatal flaw in what they believe, Abby changed her entire life. She was honest with God and with herself. God transformed her, and with any luck, he may also transform you into a deliverer of Fierce Mercy."--Glenn Beck, radio host and television producer

"Just look around and you'll see a world that is hurting and broken--a world that desperately needs to know unconditional love and limitless compassion. In this book, Abby will challenge you to learn how to intentionally model God's mercy with a fearsome dedication to love broken people. I hope you will accept her challenge. We need Fierce Mercy now more than ever."--Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated talk show host
