In an age of ever increasing litigation we have become highly tuned
to the need for justice. But is there room for mercy? In this book
Fr Ken Barker argues passionately that without mercy justice will
not be complete. He makes a compelling case for mercy through the
use of stories about remarkable human beings who, faced with hurt
and violence, have chosen to forgive rather than to seek vengeance.
He reminds us that mercy is the highest quality in the heart of
God, and hence the most liberating attitude for any human heart.
This book provides much needed teaching on forgiveness. With great
clarity and sensitivity Fr Barker addresses the deep questions that
arise in our hearts when we have been the victims of violence, or
when we have been deeply hurt by a betrayal of trust. "Why forgive
when a grave injustice has been done against me?" "How can I
forgive when they don't deserve it?" "Does forgiving someone mean I
have to forget?" "When I forgive do I have to excuse the one who
offended me?" "How can I forgive when I feel hatred in my heart?"
"Why has God allowed this to happen to me?" The gospel principles
enunciated here provide a sure pointer towards freedom for all who
have agonised with these questions. The stories offered here of
those who have found this freedom are a light in the darkness, and
an inspiration towards the highest calling of any human being - to
have mercy and to forgive.
