"An attractive and dynamic resource to teach kids about the real power of mercy in God’s world. This is a delightful book. Buy in bulk and share widely with your children in school, in religious education classes and at home." -- Fr Dwight Longenecker (Blogger, Author, Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, SC)

"C
oncise text combined with meaningful colorful pictures to create a lasting memory. Not the usual simple lists (that don’t connect with the reader) or overly detailed explanations (that most people never read). This book engages the reader with a life-transforming message and a variety of practical applications. Highly recommended for all Catholic families." -- Steve Wood (Family Life Center -- Dads.org)

"This is very impressive! I'd like one for my children!" -- Patrick Novecosky (Editor-in-Chief, Legatus)

"Really, really wonderfully done -- just the right tone, great art, great design." --
Jerry Windley-Daoust (Publisher, Peanut Butter & Grace)

"What is Love?" "How is Mercy Love?" "Can You Love Like Jesus Loves?"

From the brief and clear introduction about mercy being love; to the engaging pictures that illustrate the ways I can be merciful as Jesus is merciful; to succinct enriching scripture verses, this book is a gem for child, teen and adult. I bought enough copies for every family member as part of our Lenten and life-long inspiration. It contributes to the doable reality that in simple ways each of us is always capable of merciful love every single day. This is the kind of delectable book a person wants to go back to visit over and over again, to beautifully reinforce works of mercy, and to inspire further ideas for works of mercy.

This is great for the kids to put works of mercy into words and context that they can understand and gets their imaginations moving on how they are able to incorporate their works of mercy.

Very clever idea to teach the 7 corporal and the 7 spiritual works of mercy. Get a feel for what the cards are like and how they are used (what games you can play with them) by watching them on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00_DLL8-luI

My kids are young (just turned 6 and 3 and 15 months) and they hadn’t heard of the works of mercy until I bought both the book and the game cards. Now they are learning what the works of mercy are and they love playing the match game with the cards! Thank you for creating a fun way to learn something so important!

A great resource to help kids learn and understand the Works of Mercy, with examples from the lives of saints.

I have never been let down by any Holy Heroes product, this one included. Lovely illustrations. I like how each work of mercy is straight and to the point. Something all children and adults should be practicing in their daily lives. And, this will be a helpful tool for passing down the Faith to my kiddos.

The wording and pictures are sensitive to a child's ability to understand, yet faithful to the Church's traditional teaching on BOTH the Corporal AND the Spiritual Works of Mercy. (The Spiritual Works of Mercy have gotten very short shrift over the last 45 years that I have been teaching the Faith to children.) Excellent resource!

I bought this book as Christmas presents for my children and godchildren to promote Divine Mercy with them. Beautiful graphics and great message of mercy. Some of the works of mercy involve older kids giving their younger siblings food and water. Hopefully the kids will really relate to these situations.

First of all, thank you Holy Heroes for your super quick turn around. You beat the "two day" Prime order I made at the same time.

The quality of the booklet is great. The content is even better: all of the drawings translate well to young minds in a concrete and clear way.

I also purchased the cards to go along and have been so excited to use them as a teaching tool and game with the kids.

Thanks for your exceptional and smart products. Great company.
