To one, hope is a gift. To the other, a lie. To both, it’s what binds them. Mercy Cunningham runs a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Atlanta. Dismissive of her noble work among the destitute, her father continually pesters her to work for his Fortune-500 corporation. A bedraggled stranger visits the soup kitchen and catches Mercy’s attention. Not because of the piercing gaze almost hidden … hidden behind his facial hair, but because something seems off about him.
Noah Allen is not the pastor, or even the man, he once was. The single-blow death of his wife and child made sure of that, as did a raging opioid addiction. Blaming himself for their deaths, he wanders the country without a destination and without a desire to find one.
Then, Mercy finds him.

In The Heart of Mercy, Tanya Eavenson once again offers a sweet love story steeped in a compelling romance. Mercy Cunningham runs a homeless shelter in Atlanta, Georgia. True to her name, she has a heart for those who have no where else to stay, those who are hungry, and those in need of the Lord.
Noah Allen is one of those individuals in need. The former pastor wants to find his way back from drug addiction and a life on the streets. His journey takes him to Mercy’s shelter.

Sometimes a name can be hard to live up to, but Mercy Cunningham embodies hers. With a desire to serve the less fortunate, despite her father’s expectations for her, Mercy runs a soup kitchen and a home for those without food or shelter. Sometimes both can be heartbreaking.
Noah has known tragedy and shame but hanging around Mercy threatens to pull him out of his despair. He may not be ready for it, but all in God’s time.
Eavenson packs a lot into the 140-ish pages of this novella—grace, healing, hope, peace, second chances and, of course, mercy. And I loved that there was an epilogue in this so we could see life after the bumpy road.
Disclosure statement: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
A heartfelt and inspiring story showing someone who lost everything and ended up a homeless wanderer until he found a homeless shelter. He met a selfless and Godly woman who made his heart start to beat again but he still has some things he must put to rest.
This was another great story from author Tanya Eavenson. I always look forward to new reads from her with great anticipation and this one did not disappoint.
The characters were endearing and realistic. Mercy was instantly likable. She’s got a heart of gold who, despite objections from her father, is following the Lord’s calling by working at a soup kitchen and helping homeless people get back on their feet again. Noah’s faced so many hardships and been through so much. The pain was almost unbearable. I was really rooting for him.
The Heart of Mercy was a moving story full of hope, mercy, second chances, and finding peace in the Lord’s everlasting love.
I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
I loved reading Mercy and Noah’s story. It’s an inspirational story that shows how God works everything out in His own time and helps you overcome and forgive yourself for things that happened in the past. A beautifully written story about second chances that will warm your heart. This book will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next.
