What if the greatest test of your faith is not what you believe, but whether you are willing to stop for someone in need? Mercy Has a Name is a powerful modern retelling of Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan that moves the timeless story from the dusty road to the highways, hospitals, and churches of today. Daniel Cross is admired by everyone. A successful businessman, respected church elder, and gifted Bible teacher, he appears to embody Christian leadership. Yet beneath the polished image is a man who has slowly replaced compassion with convenience, generosity with check writing, and ministry with performance. Everything changes on one terrifying night. Left beaten and abandoned on the side of the road, Daniel experiences what it feels like to become the very man he had preached about for years. As car after car passes him by, respected religious leaders wrestle with fear, schedules, and self-preservation. Then one ordinary construction worker hears the quiet prompting of the Holy Spirit to stop.

Samuel Rivera has no platform, no title, and no audience. He simply obeys. His decision costs him time, money, comfort, work, and security. Yet through one act of costly compassion, God transforms not only Daniel's life, but the hearts of pastors, church leaders, and an entire congregation. Filled with biblical truth, heartfelt emotion, and unforgettable characters, Mercy Has a Name challenges readers to move beyond admiring the compassion of Christ and begin living it. This inspiring novel reveals that true mercy is never convenient, never calculated, and never without cost. It is the visible evidence of a heart surrendered to the Holy Spirit. More than a novel, this is an invitation to examine your own life and answer the question Jesus still asks every believer: When someone is lying beside your road, will you pass by.

or will you stop? Because mercy is not merely something we feel. Mercy has a name. And through Christ, it can become ours.
