Deb was a journalist for twenty-seven years and then she underwent training for a Baptist pastor. Later she accepted a position at a rundown inner city church where most of the congregation were homeless. Deb soon found that there are many issues pastors deal with for which they are never trained. In her book “The Weight of Mercy,” Deb shares her story, telling how she deals with the people and situations at the church where she is the pastor. And I was impressed that she wasn’t afraid to work in food pantries or clothing closets or anything else beneficial to her homeless church friends.
This is truly an awesome book to give hope and courage to those who feel there is no hope. Deb Richardson-Moore faced challenges a lot of pastors never face, but she feels she is doing the work God called her to do. It is through these challenges that she can present the hope she writes about. A lot of issues she talks about are surprising. One interesting thing I found in it is that the people she thought couldn't be trusted turned out to be the people she copuld truly trust. God actually showed Himself in a mighty way in Deb’s ministry, and I appreciate that she shares that ministry with us through her book. And the vivid details of her writing prove that Deb was a journalist before being a pastor. “The Weight of Mercy” is a wonderful book for any and everyone to read. It can be very important for those who don’t have the things we have. I recommend that you pick up a copy of Deb’s book to read for encouragement and hope for those who need our help.
