A Voyage of Mercy: A Personal Reflection on Performance and Acceptance

The world sends out a clear and pervasive message – strive, do well, don’t fail. A performance based culture with its attendant fears and insecurities can distort our view God and sabotage our relationship with Him, ourselves and others. With at times excruciating levels of honesty and vulnerability, Peter McHugh exposes the lies that had taken hold in his own life. As he puts it: The book is about Peter’s own journey, but his frank reflections and assessments take the reader to a place where they may begin their own voyage of mercy.
