Therefore . . . though justice be thy plea, consider this,

That, in the course of justice, none of us 

Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;

And that same prayer doth teach us all to render 

The deeds of mercy.  

-William Shakespeare, “The Merchant of Venice,”  Act IV, Scene 1

My name is of no consequence, but I am a Christian . . . not a very good one, mind you.  But then again, who is?

What if you deserved to die, and there was no doubt about it . . . yet you received mercy instead?

What if you were granted life instead of death?  

“What if” . . . that’s what this book is about?
