Mercy for Today: A Daily Prayer from Psalm 51 by Jonathan Parnell

Here is the book summary:

You cannot make it without God’s mercy.
 
Do we just need God’s grace in dark and shameful moments? Are prayers for mercy only for those times when we really mess up? Jonathan Parnell says we need God’s mercy all the time. In fact, contrary to many church cultures, Parnell shows that asking God for mercy should be as regular as asking God for our daily bread.
 
There’s no doubt that David was in a terrible predicament when he first prayed the words of Psalm 51. It was a dark and shameful moment in the Bible, and one so dark and shameful it seldom feels relevant to us today. But David’s most desperate prayer is really a prayer for all of us—and not just for our worst moments, but for our every moment. In these pages, you'll discover:

·       how to pray a daily, memorable prayer derived from Psalm 51

·       how to practice daily repentance and soul care

·       how to pursue God and experience his joy in the Christian life

This is God’s mercy, and it’s Mercy for Today.

And now, my review:

I received a hardcover linen textured copy of Mercy for Today by Jonathan Parnell.  What a delight to have this in my hands.  I just love linen hard copy books.  This book is great on the outside, but so yummy on the inside.  The truths that this author shares and pairs with Scripture is very insightful, challenging, and inspiring.  It’s a smaller book of just over 100 pages but don’t let that fool you.  It’s well worth the purchase and reading.  My biggest take-away is that Psalm 51 is not just good sometimes, but for every day life.  Praise God.  I hope to see more from this author in the future.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
