More than a Devotion...
Understand Divine Mercy and Its Importance Today. What exactly is God’s mercy? Where do we find it in Sacred Scripture? What is the basis for it in the life of the Church?
Dr. Robert Stackpole, STD, a university professor and expert on Divine Mercy, addresses these questions as he takes the reader on a tour of God’s mercy in Scripture and Church history. In Divine Mercy: A Guide from Genesis to Pope Benedict XVI, journey from the Garden of Eden to the Hill of Calvary. Discover God’s mercy in the writings of the Church’s great theologians, as well as in the life and teaching of many of its most preeminent saints. Learn of St. Faustina’s call to spread The Divine Mercy message in our time and Pope John Paul II’s legacy of mercy, which has influenced Pope Benedict XVI, his successor.
Groups of all kinds — in the Divine Mercy movement at large, in parishes, and at universities — will find this book an essential guide to a deeper understanding of God’ mercy. To enhance its use by groups, Dr. Stackpole has included study questions and a discussion starter at the end of each section in his chapters. Whether used by groups or individuals, this book belongs in the library of every Catholic.
