'Natalie writes with the raw honesty and authenticity... This book will inspire and challenge you to rediscover that mercy is at the heart of our spiritual formation.' Olivia Amartey, Elim In a world of polarising politics, cancel culture and social media virtue signalling, we risk losing any sense of what it means to have mercy. And yet Jesus calls us to 'be merciful, just as your Father is merciful' (Luke 6.36). In this thoughtful and practical book, Natalie Williams explores what it means to be a true mercy-bringer. First, we need to develop a deep appreciation of the mercy of God, which is more astonishing than we dare to believe. As the old hymn says, 'tis mercy all when it comes to God's dealings with his children. Once we have understood that, it will transform the way we see God, ourselves and the world around us. We will be drawn closer to Jesus and, as a result, we will reflect his mercy to a world that desperately needs it. 'Challenging yet encouraging, moving yet refreshing, and theologically rich yet practically accessible.' Andrew Wilson, King's Church London 'A much-needed book from an important voice for our times.' Graham Miller, London City Mission Contents Introduction Part 1: 'A God Merciful' Part 2: Our struggle to 'love mercy' Part 3: Merciful thinking Part 4: Merciful actions Conclusion

A book to help you rediscover the often overlooked spiritual discipline of mercy, learning how a proper understanding of God's mercy towards ourselves and others is the antidote to the conflict and anger that's so widespread in our increasingly divided world.

Reviews
"This book laid bare my paltry understanding of the power of God's mercy. Natalie writes with the raw honesty and authenticity of an individual who has been both the recipient of and a participant in God's mercy and has been radically transformed in the process." -- Olivia Amartey, Executive Director, Elim
"Tis Mercy All is a prophetic cry for the Church to grasp the transformative beauty and power of mercy. Natalie masterfully builds, thread by thread, a rich tapestry of what mercy is, why we should rejoice in it, and how we must spread it around." -- Jo Frost, co-author of Being Human, Director of Communications and Engagement, Evangelical Alliance
"With biblical truth, lived experience and practical wisdom, Natalie Williams calls the Church, and indeed all people, back to a fuller definition of biblical mercy and loving-kindness. This book shows the heart of God towards his creation, and especially humanity. The mandate to all is clear: we should go and do likewise." -- Pastor Tope Koleoso, Jubilee Church London
"In a world where anger and demands for justice often drown out calls for compassion, Natalie's book delivers a vital message of biblical, loving mercy." -- Graham Miller, Chief Executive, London City Mission
"This book will not only expand your understanding of God's mercy, it will change your life!" -- Jeremy Simpkins, ChristCentral Churches
"Natalie Williams presents a gloriously rich view of God's mercy. Gleaned from the full canon of Scripture, the depth, breadth and wonder of mercy is on display. This is an incredibly generous work, laced with humility and honest self-reflection. As ever, Natalie grounds her teaching in relevant application that exhorts readers to offer their lives mercifully to the outcast and the overlooked, the cancelled and the condemned. This is a great read!" -- Sam Ward, UK CEO, The Message Trust
"This is a bright, vivid presentation of one of Scripture's most wonderful themes: the mercy of God towards us, and its implications for the mercy we show to each other. 'Tis Mercy All' is challenging, yet encouraging; moving, yet refreshing; theologically rich, yet practically accessible." -- Andrew Wilson, Teaching Pastor, King's Church London
"With heart-wrenching examples of grace so momentous it could only be powered by God, Natalie walks us through our need to show mercy, and also to receive it. This is a book we all need, and thankfully now we've got it." -- Lauren Windle, author of Notes on Love and Notes on Feminism
