Have you seen the latest release from St. Paul Center, Lord, Have Mercy? My husband and I read through it together last night and loved it. We will definitely be adding it to our resources as our seven year old continues preparing for her First Confession and First Holy Communion!
My brain is still recovering from putting together this year’s massive gift guide (be sure to enter the amazing giveaway for over $4,000 in prizes if you haven’t already!) so Sean wrote a short review, before leaving for his adoration hour last night, to share with you all this morning for it’s launch! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for a coupon code!
Lord, Have Mercy Book Review
“Lord, Have Mercy” by epic Catholic bible scholar Scott Hahn and his coauthor, Emily Stimpson Chapman compose a biblical engaging story of the Sacrament of Confession.
Beginning with the Fall of Adam and Eve, Scott and Emily lead us to the Redemption of Man. Intriguingly, we are given a glimpse into how the Kings and Prophets of old were subject to the same deceits of Satan as Adam and Eve. They faced evil without the grace of the Sacraments which only Christ could bring.
In “Lord, Have Mercy”, the parent and child will appreciate Confession as Christ’s great act of mercy upon us and upon the whole world!
