  • Powerful testament to faith, redemption & God's infinite love
  • One man's journey from the darkness of grief to the light of Christ

Under the Mercy is Sheldon Vanauken’s deeply personal account of his spiritual journey following the death of his wife, Davy. More than just a sequel to A Severe Mercy, this moving autobiography chronicles his struggles with grief, his drift from faith, and his eventual return to God’s grace.

Caught in the currents of the times, Vanauken strayed from his spiritual path but was gently guided back by divine “nudges,” including a pivotal rereading of C.S. Lewis. This awakening led him to embrace obedience once more, ultimately culminating in his conversion to Roman Catholicism.

A powerful testament to faith and redemption, Under the Mercy is a heartfelt record of one man’s journey from darkness to light—an inspiring read for those who seek spiritual renewal.

“Comparable to Newman’s Apologia. Readers of A Severe Mercy will be excited at the prospect of reading this sequel. Those who loved one will devour the other. They will not be disappointed”.
--Dom Julian Stead, O.S.B., Author, Saint Benedict: A Rule for Beginners
