​What Readers Are Highlighting in Mercy Mild​

Published on November 22, 2025

We are approaching one of my favorite times of the year! In just a few days, we will turn the calendar to December and begin the journey toward the manger.

As many of you know, my new devotional, Mercy Mild, is designed to walk through that journey day by day. One of the most fascinating things for me as an author is seeing the “Popular Highlights” on Kindle. It gives me a window into what is actually resonating with people.

Here are a few of the passages that readers are highlighting:

On the True Purpose of Christmas:

Discover the top Kindle highlights from Mercy Mild by Josh Taylor. See why readers love this 25-day Christmas devotional and join the journey Dec 1st ...

“It’s about fulfilling God’s plan before Eden—to turn rebels into children and enemies into heirs.”

On the Nature of Faith and Anxiety:

“Sometimes the biggest act of courage isn’t doing more; it’s standing still and remembering who God is.”

On God’s Faithfulness:

“His plans don’t depend on our perfect faith—they flow from His perfect faithfulness.”

If these truths resonate with you, I’d love for you to join us in reading through Mercy Mild this December.
