Good Christian Fiction
When I first started reading A Measure of Mercy, I wasn?t sure if I was going to like it or not. There was an initial sequence (in the first chapter) that took place in the Blessing hospital that was quiet compelling and very well done, but after it, the book kind of lagged for a little bit and I put it down for a week or so.
When I came back to the book, I read the remainder of it without stopping!
After a chapter of two of contemplating, Astrid begins to make decisions and take steps in her life that lead to some really moving moments within the story.
A Measure of Mercy really emphasizes faith and demonstrates the works that are such an important part of a true Christian lifestyle. Trust in God and keeping a close ear on His callings is key in the plotline, and this book very honestly explores the thoughts of someone who is unsure about what lies ahead.
I LOVED the ending of A Measure of Mercy ? it reminds of the peace that comes to us when we have made a tough decision and have felt the burden of deciding leave us.
I can?t wait to read the upcoming releases in the Home to Blessing series!
Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book from Bethany House for the purpose of this review. This does not influence my opinion of the volume.
