Introducing writer and inspirational speaker, Lara Patangan, and her new book, Simple Mercies.
When looking for deeper meaning in her own life, Lara set out to spend a year doing the Works of Mercy. What she discovered was the power of mercy to change lives. As she went through the year and began to reflect on what truly brings us peace and healing, this pages of this book began to write themselves.

Written with humor and insight, it's the perfect summer read for women, men, couples and book clubs to contemplate and celebrate the mercy in their own lives.

Even after achieving our most lofty goals, we are sometimes left confused by the emptiness we feel. We check the boxes. We fill our calendars. We get the promotion. We buy the bigger house. Yet there is still an unquenchable longing deep within us.
Simple Mercies: How the Works of Mercy Bring Peace and Fulfillment offers an alternative. You can be the person God created you to be by loving and serving others through the works of mercy. By doing so, we are assured the peace and fulfillment that doesn't come from the world, but from love of God and neighbor.
With her accessible, everyday approach to life, writer, mom, and volunteer, Lara C. Patangan helps us realize that our everyday compassion makes a difference in exponential ways and that mercy always matters. Practicing mercy isn't a passive way of renewal; rather, engaging in transformative acts of service empowers us to fulfill our purpose to love and serve God, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
