Summary: Ronn Elmore Did a Great Job!
Comment: Sucessful therapist Dwayne Grandison was still mourning the loss of his wife from a car accident when his brother, Pastor Lafayette Grandison approaches him about working with a new ministry at New Covenant Assembly. The position involves working closely with counselor Nina Jordan, an ex child star. Nina has successfully founded a female counseling program at the church and needs Dr. Grandison's expertise for the new male counseling program.
Approximately around the same time, Dr. Grandison is recruited by well-known evangelist Beverlyn Boudreaux for a talk show host position on her brand new Christian television network. Sparks fly as Dwayne works with both women in two very different atmospheres. Beverlyn's world is glitzy and glamorous, while working with Nina is more laid back and in the trenches of the church.
As the talk show becomes increasingly successful, Dwayne gets caught up in the traps of fame. He also grows closer to Beverlyn who reminds him more and more of his deceased wife. Unfortunately somebody very close to Beverylyn does not appreciate the budding relationship and proceeds to destroy Dr. Grandison's reputation with false rumors. Dr. Grandison will soon find which one of the two women will stand by his side as everything falls apart.
As the first novel by real-life therapist Ronn Elmore, this was a pretty good read. Dwayne's story felt authentic especially during the counseling sessions. Also while the mega minstry represented was fictional, the glimpse behind the scenes was informative. Even when doing God's work, people can easily get caught up along the wrong path --- the one leading to destruction.

Comment: Ronn Elmore's Mercy, Mercy Me was right on point dealing with the challenges and issues that Christians face when we get caught up in the glamour, prestige and politics of this world!
Mr. Elmore demonstrated through the character of Dr. Dwayne Grandison that scripture that says, "Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you"!

Summary: Excellent Christian Fiction
Comment: Dr. Dwayne Grandison, a highly successful private psychologist living in Los Angeles, struggles to fulfill God's will for his life as he determines how best to use his talents. His client list includes some of the top music and Hollywood celebrities and professional athletes. Dr. Grandison is talented, handsome and anointed to counsel people and to bring healing to their lives. His conflict stems from whether to follow his ambition to be the star of his own television show or to follow his spirit's leading to direct a low-profile ministry at his family's church and avoid the limelight. On each side of the turmoil is a lovely woman hoping he will see things her way.
Dr. Grandison is the central character. He enjoys a simple life and desires to have children, but his wife presses him to reach for more of the spoils of success in the world. She urges him to delay parenthood in order to reach his full potential in his career. After his wife dies in a car accident, Dr. Grandison finds that two paths diverge before him, and if he chooses wrongly, he may lose all he has gained.
In Mercy, Mercy Me, Ronn Elmore writes about what he knows. Like the main character, the author is a Psychologist and a minister. His expertise on personal growth and relationship issues is apparent in this novel that addresses the tensions present in relationships between men and women.
The story of Mercy, Mercy Me is built on the relationships between the main characters. Dr. Elmore does an excellent job at developing the characters, so that the reader can identify with them and their desires, dreams, fears and temptations.
The reader also will identify with the challenge of being in the world but not of it that the Christian characters face in this novel. Dr. Elmore impresses me with his skill in creating realistic Christian characters. He adroitly shows how sincere Christians can stray from the straight and narrow path by deceptive traps and their own worldly desires.
In the beginning of this book, the first 20 pages or so, Dr. Elmore tries to say too much about the story and the characters. I found the initial chapters cumbersome to read; however, before I knew it, the book really started to flow. It is as if Dr. Elmore started off cold but quickly found his zone and got hot just like an athlete that suddenly breaks out of a slump and starts playing at the top of his game.
This novel touches on many challenges that Christians face today while trying to serve God such as marriage conflicts, greed, selfish ambition, sex, sickness, betrayal, time management, parenting and wolves in sheep's clothing. Dr. Elmore expertly addresses these subjects and more in a very entertaining Christian novel that I think you will enjoy.
