Book Review - Mercy in the City: How to Feed the Hungry, Give Drink to the Thirsty, Visit the Imprisoned, and Keep Your Day Job - by Kerry Weber

Written by a young lady who had been a Mercy Volunteer Corps Associate, a graduate of a Catholic University, and a graduate of a journalism school, this book looks at the works of mercy from a practical perspective, how the author approached them in the midst of her Lenten journey one year.  I found it very interesting how she related works of mercy to helping out a soup kitchen, trying to visit prisoners, and sponsoring someone entering the Church through the RCIA program.  It is always good to see how someone approaches the "rules" and values of our faith in the context of trying to apply them in daily life.  A very interesting book - and not a difficult read at all.
