Not Without Mercy, The Passage Home is book two in the series. The story of the William Beorn family survives the Black Plague of 1348 in Bristol, England. William and his adopted son, Michael, grow with the many experiences and difficulties forced upon them. Somehow, William kept his unwavering faith, even during some of the most perilous and challenging trials life could give. Yet, Michael, being thrust into adulthood by taking on the responsibility of his family in William's absence, reacted much differently. Although his challenges differed from William's, his faith wavered and nearly crumbled under tremendous pressure as things worsened. But something remarkable happens to Michael in book two. William and his wife Jillian, kindred spirits, have a strong spiritual connection that time and space cannot keep them apart. The Passage Home completes the journey of this remarkable family, as it reminds them that there is nothing more important than family. Life was fragile for William, Jillian, Michael, and many others of the day; time was short, and death surrounded them on every side. Yet even in the most terrifying moments, they knew God had left them Not Without Mercy.

"Not Without Mercy is a beautiful testament that family bonds do not end in the grave." -- Michael B. Rush, author of, A Remnant Shall Return, Daniel 11, Revelation, The Vision of John The Devine and Delight in Plainness

Powerful story. Mediocre writing

I highly recommend this series. full of love, passion, wisdom, suffering and miracles. You see faith tested , faith lost, faith regained, and faith rewarded.
The only thing that bothered me was the repetitive nature of the writing. Here's one example:

He reached down and picked up the broken mirror and raised it to his face, turning it from side to side until he could see a large enough image of himself. He looked at the reflection in the broken mirror and knew it was his own image as he looked at his reflection in the broken mirror but was terrified when he realized he did not recognize the face in the mirror.
There are several similar passages in the book.

Miracle of Miracles brought by faith and hope

So much feeling in this continued story of great loss and suffering followed by restoration. Deeply affecting and wonderfully done. So many truths contained in this story that encourages faith, hope and charity while examples of great resilience seem to shape this story. So grateful to have found this precious gem!
