The Strength of Mercy: Making a Difference in the World One Child at a Time [Paperback]

Jan Beazely (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 20, 1999

In a world where suffering and injustice abound, we yearn for evidence that God has not forgotten His children, that He knows each one by name. We, long, too, to know that God guides and directs our lives, that He desires to use each of us in His plan to bring light to the nations. This is the life-changing message of The Strength of Mercy.

Within these pages, you’ll witness God’s compassion as He leads a family to Romania in search of one special child. You’ll see His interest and involvement as He orchestrates a dramatic series of events that would bring help and hope to abandoned children around the world. And your faith will be bolstered by this powerful, modern-day example of how God speaks to us…and asks us to risk for Him.

“An unbelievable, but true, testimony of how God can guide and direct the surrendered hearts of those who long to follow their Lord. There is something significant in this story for you!”–Kay Arthur

5.0 out of 5 stars The most inspiring book I have ever read, March 18, 2003

This review is from: The Strength of Mercy: Making a Difference in the World One Child at a Time (Paperback)

As a recently adoptive parent and grandparent of two Romanian and one Bulgarian children, I have felt the anguish and despair that can overcome a person when he or she finds themselves in such an emotional battle as the one to save children from a life of pain and despair. Like the author and her family, we found hope in the Lord and in prayer, but even that at times seems not to be enough. This type of book is one that all people, believers and non-believers alike, should read again and again.

I enjoyed this book because it was a true story of a family who so much wanted to follow God's will and plan for their lives. I didn't want to put the book down! This book is similar to Experiencing God, a book also about knowing and doing the will of God. I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially those considering or in the process of international adoption.

Jan Beazely and her husband Ron share about the very personal aspects of how God used them and some of the personal cost of the Christian life. And the great rewards of Blessings from obeying God. So exciting! All through the book you can see how faith and obedience in God could change your life. I loved it!
