Join Samuel “Sam” Anderson in this modern-day fable that includes: church conflict, forced termination of a pastor, and discovery of the true meaning of the mercy of God. With a compelling narrative style of writing, readers are exposed to urgently needed truths in ways that speak deeply to their hearts. In a powerful way, the book "Mercy" helps laypeople and clergy know not only what not to do, but what to do in extending mercy to others. And for those times when hurt occurs, the awesome truth of Romans 8:28 shines bright for those who are wounded and wronged. Above all, this tool helps prevent the bitterness and lasting damage that is always Satan's goal in church conflict.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">“From time to time God crosses our paths with a book or message we recognize as being uniquely from Him. As I read Dr. Moore’s book <strong>Mercy, </strong>I had a strong sense of God’s special blessing and guidance upon this work. As one who has done ministry, research and writing in the area of pastor-church relationships, I believe Scott Moore’s book is unique and desperately needed. It is one of those rare books that speaks equally to layman and ministers alike. </span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">With a compelling narrative style of writing, readers are exposed to urgently needed truths in ways that speak deeply to their hearts.

Above all, this tool helps prevent the bitterness and lasting damage that is always Satan’s goal in church conflict. It is my prayer that every believer and minister will read this book prayerfully. It would not only prevent much hurt, it would channel souls into healing and mercy when hurt occurs. May God grant great mercy, grace and healing to all who read it.”</span></p> <p> </p> <p align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Toward greater mercy in Christ’s Church,</span></p> <p> </p> <p align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:right;"> </p> <p align="right" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Dr. Gregory R.
