Description
Jesus is not waiting for you to fix yourself before coming to him. He is already running in your direction. Mercy has come looking for you; all you need to do is receive it.
The Bible tells us that God's mercies are new every morning. It's not just poetic language; it's a reflection of who he is. His mercy is personal. It pursues you.
In The Mercy King, you'll encounter Jesus as he actually is--gentle, welcoming, and full of mercy--and discover that it's in your weakness, not your strength, that he draws near to heal, forgive, and make you whole. Empathetic, relatable, and deeply moving, The Mercy King will help you:
- See how Jesus' heart is most tender toward the most wounded parts of you--your pain, doubt, and failures
- Recognize the ways subtle idols like control, recognition, and success mask your deeper ache--and learn how to let them go
- Lay down the exhausting demands of performance and take up Christ's invitation to his gentle, freeing yoke
- Receive the unshakable identity given to you in Christ so you no longer have to prove your worth
- Discover how God's mercy can awaken what feels dead inside
- Rekindle your faith, desire, and joy
In an age when finding rest for our souls seems impossible, The Mercy King shows you how to see Jesus as he is and how to embrace his new mercies every day.
