“Mercy For Today – A Daily Prayer from Psalm 51 appealed to me because I am focusing on the concepts of mercy and grace. Author, Jonathan Parnell breaks apart some of the most familiar verses in the Christian community. When David sins so heinously against God with Bathsheba and is called out by Samuel for his sin, he pens Psalm 51. The entire Psalm is his cry to the Lord for forgiveness. Mr. Parnell takes four specific verses from this Psalm and does a masterful job at digging into how each of those verses can apply to our lives and how we can use them when we pray. The verses become intensely personal while reading his book, they become verses that the reader wants to be a part of their daily prayer life. Mr. Parnell shows, in great detail, how valuable repentance and mercy are and why we should consider them frequently. This book made me hunger more for the Word of God and led me to embrace Psalm 51.
