Synopsis

Maybe God still moves and speaks in mysterious ways—some even stranger than we might ever expect.Jamie Blaine’s life isn’t exactly going as planned. When a twist of fate places the late-night psychiatric crisis guy on 24/7 call, his insomnia ramps up to desperate stages as he veers closer to becoming the very kind of person he’s trying to save.After a well-meaning colleague offers a workbook promising “the divine secret of life,” Blaine throws himself into the stereotypical journey of self-discovery with hilarious and heartbreaking conclusions that are anything but clichéd.Jamie travels time to untangle his own story of God through the wilderness, battling alligators, acrophobia, anaphylactic shock, Christian tricksters, Christmas, insomnia zombies, hymn-singing bridge jumpers, preteen bullies, paranoid ER patients armed with knives, hatchet-wielding housewives, septuagenarian pugilists, locust swarms, and ghosts of the present, future, and past.If you’ve ever felt lost and stumbling, like you’ll never find your way to purpose, plans, or the promised land, Mercy Never Sleeps is a traveling companion, a field guide to making peace with your own rambling path home.

I received this book as a Goodreads giveaway. I really enjoyed parts of this book such as the humor and the style of writing. Mr. Blaine has some very interesting thoughts and ways of looking at things. The only thing I didn't really like was the timeline. His story jumped around some between past a......more

A fresh perspective on humanity and Jesus...we are all flawed, but perhaps by design. Perhaps Jesus can more easily be seen in life's messy moments than in a well-to-do church. I enjoyed this book and Midnight Jesus as well. I hope Jamie Blaine continues to write as his voice is refreshing and real.......more

Goodreads review by Karla on June 29, 2018

I really did enjoy Mercy Never Sleeps and appreciated the insights and perspective of Jamie Blaine, a "late night psychiatric crisis guy." I like the writing style and all the stories of how he loves and tries to help broken people. It was a little disjointed but I think that's kinda the point. Issu......more
