Mercy like Sunlight is a story about Mary
Margaret Delaney. For seven years, Mary has been tortured by demons ever since
a tragic event unfolded in her life. This event caused her great grief, guilt,
and regret. Closely paralleling the biblical account of Mary Magdalene, this
novella, follows the fictional journey of Mary Margaret Delaney, a mentally ill
woman adrift in contemporary Chicago, desperate for someone to save her from
herself.
One day she has an encounter with Pastor Jake
Stauros. He seeks out the wounded of the world and offers Jesus's love and
forgiveness. Mary Margaret doesn't want the help at first, but the love of
Jesus that this man shows is like a magnet to her wounded and battered soul.
The ending gives a moving reminder of what Easter is about and even though death may come, it has already been defeated by Jesus Christ. "Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death is your sting? When the body is set free from mortal death, the spirit soars with eternal life."

Liz Curtis Higgs has a unique way of telling the
Biblical story using people in today's world.
Mercy like Sunlight is an encouraging, uplifting story closely aligned with
the account of Mary Magdalene in the Bible. A very thought-provoking novella,
Liz Curtis Higgs packs a lot of story into only a few pages, I recommend you
buy this for yourself and a great gift for others.
