Synopsis

Patrick Hannon, winner of the First Time Author of a Book award in the 2006 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, offers his second stunning book--The Geography of God's Mercy. In it, Hannon offers a collection of personal stories that delve into the deeper meaning and importance of forgiveness. Whether he is describing the endless compassion of his mother's love for her horde of children, or his sister's fervent closing argument to a jury for mercy on a young mother cornered into shoplifting in order to feed her children, readers will find themselves entranced by his engaging and poignant stories. Hannon uses the different geographies of the world (desert, mountain, plains) as a framework for this book.
