+  Mercy Matters: Opening Yourself to the Life-Changing Gift

  • Description: "Religion professor and media commentator, Mathew N. Schmalz – once a childhood bully – has something to say about mercy’s life-changing possibilities. With his own life as backdrop for reflections on forgiveness, compassion, and clemency, Schmalz details personal accounts of mercy that show it doesn’t always come easily, but is infinitely rewarding. In Mercy Matters: Opening Yourself to the Life-Changing Gift (Our Sunday Visitor, 2016), Schmalz’s 12 chapter-profiles each relate a personal experience of mercy which helped him know the mercy of Christ. He describes his adoption, his forgiveness of his birth mother, and his meeting with the victim of his grade-school bullying, among many others. Each story is presented in up-close detail which allows the reader to identify with the situation."
