Insight on Mercy (Vol. 1)

par Theodore Andoseh

Compassion is not produced in barren situations. Compassion is produced in the presence of real needs. So the Lord told a young Theodore Andoseh at four o’clock one morning—and sent him into the roadside ditches of Mbalmayo to prove it. This book gathers, one to a page, the insights on mercy of a man who was himself picked up by mercy: the fatherless boy to whom God said, Little orphan, don’t be an orphan—I am your Father. Here is the Good Samaritan read as a manual for the church: evangelism on the road, pastoral care in the inn. Here are homes, schools and churches called to fight for their children; the faithful called to forgive and intercede for the very brethren who hurt them; women called to good deeds that stand as credentials before God; and seventeen anecdotes—from a grandmother’s egusi blessing to Margaret Thatcher’s two-day holiday—that turn principle into story. Read one insight, let it find you, and then do something. Mercy, in these pages, is never a feeling. It works.
