Mercy, Compassion, and Forgiveness: A Prisoner's Transparent Path to Freedom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479615087)

Imagine metal doors slamming behind you, as you're locked away for twenty-five years. Christian Mann doesn't have to imagine it, he lived it. Guilt, shame, severed relationships, and hopelessness threatened to engulf him.

He wanted to end his life, but in that gloomy prison cell he found a rich spiritual experience-a transformative revelation-new life. He was lifted from dark emptiness into the fullness of God's love, light, and freedom.

In Mercy, Compassion, and Forgiveness, Christian shares insights from a prisoner's viewpoint, guiding his readers (through the lens of transparency) to true personal freedom. Self-condemnation, the condemnation of others, doubt and fear, joy in serving, and many other points are addressed in its pages.

From his position "on the lowest rung of society's ladder of respectability" the author vividly portrays the great love of Jesus for all-even you. His word pictures encourage you to place your hand in the hand of the all-sufficient Savior and find unwavering assurance in His salvation.

Are you imprisoned in a cell, or has sin "locked up" your soul? Do you struggle with corrosive self-hatred or with insolent self-righteousness? Either way, you will find here life-changing truths for your journey, and timeless help from the One who will direct your paths forevermore.
