Reviews: Hand of Mercy…and You
We all love how a good story grabs your heart! Hand of Mercy does that with a storyline that also intrigues and guides your mind to consider the grace of God in a fresh way. This book deals with issues of life and death by connecting narrative biography with a rich selection of scriptures followed by thoughtful questions. The author invites the reader to consider things of eternal, spiritual consequence as she also reflects on her own personal connection with God’s grace. Readers will experience God’s grace and be encouraged to place their faith and trust in Christ alone for eternal life.

I love a great story - especially a true one. In fact, most of us are always searching for a story - whether you are reading a book, watching the news, or surfing the web. It is rare to find one that captures our attention and causes us to relate it to our own life experience. Ann Wirtz has done just that in Hand of Mercy. She weaves together a beautiful tapestry of how God works through our joys and sorrows. I found myself asking questions about prayer and miracles. The "deeper reflections" helped me to wrestle with scriptures of faith. Ann's storytelling connects as we are living out our own stories of what God is doing in our individual lives. Even in heartache and struggle, we can know that God redeems and restores.

This book was a blessing to read as throughout I found myself saying, “Thank you, Jesus; Praise God; Only You, Lord; and Amen!” I’m thankful for this man’s experience, for the account of his salvation, and for the miracles that are now recorded for others to read. Hand of Mercy is beautifully written and reminds us that our God is as big as He says He is.

Ann Wirtz in Hand of Mercy has woven compelling stories of how the Lord worked miracles in the lives of ordinary people, including her own personal life. Her hope is that “the reader will come to a greater understanding of the Bible, of Jesus, and of eternal life in Christ.” Her desire is for those who know Him personally to draw closer, and for those who don’t know Him to learn how to seek Jesus for themselves.

Hand of Mercy is a perfect picture of the way God works. You can see His hand on every page.

Hand of Mercy by Ann Wirtz is the true story of Joseph Nowicki’s life - an atheist, an adventurer, an imprisoned Polish veteran of WWII, and a hardworking visionary for his family – this life that suddenly meets death by way of a speeding car. But it’s not a final death. Nor is it the end of a story… it’s just the beginning of a healing, of a faith, and of a miracle. The use of scripture and detailed testimonial will have you searching your own heart and relationship to God and His divine purpose for you.
