A hopeful and Christ-centered devotional for Christians who know
social justice to be a good and holy endeavor
On Love and Mercy is a 60-day devotional that invites readers to
expand their vision of both personal faith in God and the redemptive and
saving work of social action. Breaking down the premise that
Christians must choose between being either socially conscious or
theologically sound, author Stephen Mattson offers the hopeful message
that Jesus--and Christianity--is both. Each day's entry offers
Christians who long to see justice and equity within society with a
much-needed source of affirmation, solidarity, and encouragement.
These heart-felt devotions bring readers hope and encouragement to
embrace social justice as the Christ-like discipline that it always was
and is meant to be. On Love and Mercy validates social justice
practices within the Christian faith by centering the example of Jesus
as the ultimate standard.
Although our religion will fail us, Jesus never will. He walks alongside
us in living out God's commands us to love our neighbors to the best of
our ability. Step into this journey and discover anew what it means to
be devoted to Jesus and justice.
