About the Book The Mercy Seat

Title: The Mercy Seat
Series: The Urban Chronicles #1
Author: Henry O. Arnold
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: March 5, 2024
Genre: Christian Contemporary Fiction

Hells Canyon is a neighborhood in Richland, Tennessee where tourists never venture, and locals fear to tread.

Maxwell Crane, former Marine chaplain and pastor of The Mercy Seat church, struggles to provide a beacon of hope.

But others have their eyes set on Hells Canyon: power elites, robber barons, and street gangs seek their own gain at the cost of the beleaguered urban neighborhood. For the people who live there, it’s been a fight to exist their whole lives, and that fight is getting harder.

Maxwell doesn’t have to stay in Hells Canyon. He and his family could leave to live a comfortable middle-class existence. Instead, Maxwell chooses to risk his life—and the lives of those around him—to stand against the oppressors.

But what happens when this pastor crosses a line, taking justice into his own hands? Will his family, his community, and his God ever forgive him? Will he ever forgive himself?

My Thoughts on The Mercy Seat

The Mercy Seat is an intense novel that you’re going to be glued to. You don’t want to miss this one! Grab your copy now!  The book read at a good pace.  It wasn’t a super fast read but it did read at a good clip.  The characters were engaging and kept me interested.  I liked watching them grow and change. 

There are some hard topics within the pages of this novel.  You’ve got drugs and gangs and low income families.  Add in the violence and disregard of others.  You’re going to need to read this one.  I enjoyed it and hope you do too.
