Mercy Matters by Mathew N Schmalz (Our Sunday Visitor, £11). Professor Schmalz uses his own life story as the backdrop for his reflections on mercy: how we show it to others and how we receive it. Tackling subjects such as adoption, sobriety, bullying, the Boston bombing and a leper colony in India, the author includes discussion and reflection questions at the end of each chapter, in order to encourage readers to ponder the meaning of mercy in their own lives. This is an excellent resource for individual reading or group study during this Year of Mercy.
