Adopted: From Guarded to Held is a tender, Spirit-led invitation into healing, vulnerability, and the kind of love that doesn't need to be earned. This isn't just a story about spiritual authority - it's a journey of learning to be fathered, learning to rest, and learning to receive. Through honest reflections and personal stories, Mercy shares what it looked like for her to move from self-protection to softness, from striving to surrender, from carrying everything alone to being deeply cared for.
If you've ever found it easier to give love than to receive it - this book is for you. If you've ever struggled to trust people who are called to cover you - this book is for you. If you're healing from abandonment, rejection, or perfectionism - you're not alone. There's rest for you here.
With themes of spiritual healing, identity, intimacy with Jesus, and safe leadership, Adopted is for anyone who's learning to let go of old patterns and lean into the unearned, unshakable love of God - sometimes expressed through the very people He places in our lives. This is a book for the tender-hearted. For the ones who think deeply, love deeply, and want to be seen that way too.
