About the Book
During the early lockdowns of COVID-19 in 2020, author Terrie Fahning would go for a walk about 5:30 a.m. around her subdivision in Guyton, Georgia. Her life had changed a great deal in recent years, and in those walks, she shared her concerns with God and listened to Him talking in her heart. He reminded her of stories of her childhood and encouraged her to write them down.
The result is Mercy’s Happenings, a collection of stories from Terrie’s childhood spent living on a small farm with her family and their animals. In her tales, she uses the name Mercy Mae East. Mercy is because of God’s mercy, Mae was her grandma’s middle name, and East is because Jesus will split the eastern sky when He returns. The stories depict some events of her youth along with useful messages and guiding questions.
In her childhood, Terrie learned many life lessons along the way that have served her well and received guidance from both her loving family and God. Those lessons are still applicable in her life today, and she believes they will help others as well.
