Resumen del Editor

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.

Fantastic read!

First, this is a book that speaks so deeply and honestly about Gods fierce mercy- His mercy over ALL things in our lives- both before we knew Him, and mistakes we make along the way. It is a good book about just one of Gods attributes, and the use of her personal story is such a personal and humbling way to demonstrate that mercy.
Abby does an amazing job with the reading, as well. Great inflection, and it’s as if she is just standing next to you talking.
I highly recommend this book, but only if you want to deepen your walk with Christ, and learn how to give this fierce mercy to those around you, not only to those who don’t know God, but also to those who do.

A much needed dose of vitamin M (mercy)

I found this book to be very enlightening, very encouraging, and very easy to absorb. I could tell it was a book from the heart. Though easy to read, it is full of wonderful examples of God's mercy and wonderful pieces of encouragement. Inspiration for us all to not only notice mercy in our lives, but to share it with others in our lives. Very important information. I was especially touched by her vulnerable sharing of her struggles to be the mother that God called her to be. I'm so proud of her for sharing that with us and also for stepping up and stepping over the threshold of being a workaholic and becoming a better mom. I also was blessed to learn more about the concept of not demonizing the abortion workers. They do deserve to be looked at as equal in God's eyes and valued by God, no less than we are. Many examples of how we must LOVE them away from their wrong path, as Jesus does with us. I learned so much from that and I will forever be changed in a good way by that lesson. I pray more people on the pro-life side can take this book, and its messages and expand their horizons.

powerful transformative read

Abby did a great job writing and reading this heartfelt and persuasive read. I am so thankful for her perspective and testimony in expanding who our mission field should include as true Christians. Thank you, Abby!
