Remembering God's Mercy

by Dawn Eden

Remembering God’s Mercy is a perfect resource for personal spiritual growth during the Jubilee Year of Mercy.

There’s at least one person in everyone’s life, more than one if you’re fortunate. Being around that person often makes you feel better, braver, and more peaceful After a conversation with the person, you feel loved and cared for.

This may date me, but to me the concept is most fully expressed in the 1990s Rich Mullins song, “Let Mercy Lead.” The refrain includes the line:

“Let mercy lead
let love be the strength in your legs
and in every footprint that you take there’ll be a drop of grace.”

This quality doesn’t mean the person is always perfect, or you always have that experience with him or her. But it does mean that in many interactions, the person is a conduit of grace.

Sometimes the one who “leads with mercy” is a family member, or a dear friend. Sometimes, the person is one we know only as an acquaintance, or only meet on one occasion.

Sometimes, that person can be an author. One such authors is Dawn Eden, who writes from such a place of peace and spiritual depth that nearly everything she writes contains a “drop of grace.”

Her latest book, "Remembering God’s Mercy: Redeem the Past and Free Yourself from Painful Memories," is an excellent example of this gift. As Eden writes in the preface: “I wrote this book to share the good news that Jesus Christ heals our memories.”

This definitely makes Eden's thoughts on healing memories through Christ more accessible to people who aren't recovering from trauma. I liked her stories (although I would have preferred more). There are way more quotations here than in any other book. Recommended for people seeking healing beyond what medicine can offer.

I don't think this book was bad but it wasn't for me. The author goes through the Ignatian Spirital Exercises and how they helped her but I didn't really find it helpful or a method to follow unless I did the Spiritual Exercises on my own.

This book will be useful for some. It wasn't useful to me but don't let that influence you.

If you have ever had trouble forgiving people from your past this book provides a way of praying which will finalize forgiveness and help you achieve it. I am the author of "Heal Your Memories, Change Your Life" and 'The Ultimate Guide To Healing Your Past". Remembering God's Mercy will help you use prayer and receiving God's love as an ultimate way to heal your past.
