Wonderful, Entertaining and Insightful

Anointed therapist, author and inspirational speaker, Ronn Elmore gives readers a literary backstage pass to the world of the "business" of Christian concerts and mega conferences. One can't help but conjure images of real-life personalities when reading about the larger-than-life Beverlyn Bourdeaux, her self-serving uncle/business manager, L.W. and the child star turned ministry leader, Nina Jordan. Elmore has the artistic saavy not to lead readers down to happily-ever-afterville; instead he infused just enough drama with just enough joy to make the story one that readers can relate to, and be inspired by.

Ronn Elmore Did a Great Job!

Sucessful therapist Dwayne Grandison was still mourning the loss of his wife from a car accident when his brother, Pastor Lafayette Grandison approaches him about working with a new ministry at New Covenant Assembly. The position involves working closely with counselor Nina Jordan, an ex child star. Nina has successfully founded a female counseling program at the church and needs Dr. Grandison's expertise for the new male counseling program.Approximately around the same time, Dr. Grandison is recruited by well-known evangelist Beverlyn Boudreaux for a talk show host position on her brand new Christian television network. Sparks fly as Dwayne works with both women in two very different atmospheres. Beverlyn's world is glitzy and glamorous, while working with Nina is more laid back and in the trenches of the church. As the talk show becomes increasingly successful, Dwayne gets caught up in the traps of fame. He also grows closer to Beverlyn who reminds him more and more of his deceased wife. Unfortunately somebody very close to Beverylyn does not appreciate the budding relationship and proceeds to destroy Dr. Grandison's reputation with false rumors. Dr. Grandison will soon find which one of the two women will stand by his side as everything falls apart.As the first novel by real-life therapist Ronn Elmore, this was a pretty good read. Dwayne's story felt authentic especially during the counseling sessions. Also while the mega minstry represented was fictional, the glimpse behind the scenes was informative. Even when doing God's work, people can easily get caught up along the wrong path --- the one leading to destruction.

You will be blessed by reading this book!

Ronn Elmore's Mercy, Mercy Me was right on point dealing with the challenges and issues that Christians face when we get caught up in the glamour, prestige and politics of this world!Mr. Elmore demonstrated through the character of Dr. Dwayne Grandison that scripture that says, "Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you"!I want to applaud Mr. Elmore for writing such a reality based but yet Spirit filled book! There are so many messages of great joy that can be garnished by reading this book, the author was so on point with the many issues that the mordern day Christian has to face. God bless you Mr. Elmore and keep on writing such inspirational stories. I am going out and buying your other books and add them to my library! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read an entertaining yet mind altering story!!

Once you get to page twenty, it's wonderful

It is wonderful to see men writing inspirational books like this. Mercy, Mercy me is an entertaining read about the lives of three "Christians", Dwayne, Nina and Beverlyn and what happens when their worlds collide. Dwayne Grandison, the main character, is trying to decide between following his heart or what others have told him is God's plan for his life. I didn't understand the first ten pages of the prologue (it was as if the author was trying to tell us everything up front even though it unfolds later.) I almost stopped reading the book there - but if that happens to you, hang in there. Once you get pass that, you'll enjoy every page. This is a read that entertains, inspires and teaches great life lessons.
