"That's where we leave our son, in a stand of locust trees, getting much of his food from dumpsters, walking everywhere. It's why this book is about knowing God, not about answered prayer."

In Echoes of Mercy, Susan Hamlin gives evidence from an ordinary life to answer these pressing questions:

• Does God speak?
• Can I safely trust Him?
• His resounding mercy, what might it look like?
• Will God actually do something real for me, the parent of a wayward child?
• Where do I look when all I can see is trouble?
• How can I help others, and be helped in return?

Written for mothers of wandering children, the truths in Echoes of Mercy apply to anyone in any trouble.
