Mercy That Remakes a Life
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
The New Jersey Household recommends this great work of fiction for contemplating mercy and the long work of conversion.
Victor Hugo’s story turns around grace, justice, sacrifice, and the question of whether a life can be remade by love.
The New Jersey Household includes it because serious Christian formation needs beauty, story, and a big enough imagination for redemption.
