My Review of The Miracle of Mercy Land by River Jordan

I received this book free from Waterbrook Multnomah's Blogging for Books program.  What a great way to get free books and what great books they are!

(Please click on the picture to enlarge if you'd like to better see the little drawing at the bottom.)  The journal page for this book is more immediate and less artful, because it was 11:10 p.m. when I finished the book and it made such an impact that I felt I needed to get it down immediately before the magic disappeared...

I've never read such a book as this. It was magical and moving, a magnificent story. 

- about choices,
- and life stories,
- about who we're created to be and who is chosen to accompany us in our life's journey,
- about consequences, and about characteristics and circumstances, sometimes beyond our control, that make us who we are.
- It's about brokenness and scars and how they become part of us...the past can't be erased, but instead the scars from our bad choices, or the choices of others that affect us, are woven into the very fiber of our being and into the very heart and soul of who we are. We make the choice to let our scars make us bitter or better people.


The Miracle of Mercy Land. I discovered that "Mercy Land" is a person, though from the title you're not sure? Her story, along with the stories of the lives that touch hers, will move you in ways you never imagined.

I'll have to check this out, it sounds very interesting. I've long been a believer that God puts people in our lives for a reason, and not always for OUR benefit but theirs as well. I can only hope I've helped others as well as others have helped me along the way!
