A short excerpt from my book, "True Mercy Has Teeth"

In my chapter inviting the reader to examine memories, and ultimately seeking the Lord's healing, I reflect on Lamentations 3 (https://bible.usccb.org/bible/lamentations/3). It is a passage that is suggested for Masses of Christian Burial, because it invites the listener to trust in the Lord. But I think its beauty and power is larger.

The writer of Lamentations was no stranger to suffering. In chapter 3, his grief is so intense that he describes himself as filled with bitterness, cast into the dust, and unable to recall happiness. But then something changes. He pauses. He chooses to remember rightly: that the Lord’s mercies are not exhausted but are new every morning. 

That shift - from despair to hope - comes not from his circumstances changing, but from his memory being redirected to truth.

 

This is what the word in the New Testament for repentance, metanoia, really means. When we hear repentance in the Gospels, too often we think it is nothing more than turning away from sin. It is that, but so much more. It means to have a change of mind, not in the sense of a simple decision, but to see the world in a new way, to see it as God sees it. It means to put off the darkened intellect, to combat the concupiscences that tempt us, and to see the world as it truly is. It is to move from bad to good, and from good to God.

 

This “change of mind” is key to everything that follows in this book. Without a desire to be changed, there is no healing. And that healing begins with our memory, as the writer of Lamentations understood.

Official Release Day!!!

It’s Here!

After five years of prayer and preparation—and two months of intense editing—the fruit of my prayer, observation, and study is finally ready. True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now officially released and available for purchase online at multiple retailers.

Please consider leaving a review wherever you purchase the book. Reviews don’t just boost visibility—they help others discover a resource that I believe can bring healing and hope. Promoting a book is no easy task, but your words can be a powerful help in spreading this message.

A Note for Early Readers:
A few early release copies included a small error, where I was perhaps a bit too eager in something liturgical! If you received one of those editions, here’s what I’d ask:

• Send me the page number and description of the error you found

• Let me know where you posted your review

As a thank you to the first person who responds, I will send a signed hardcover edition of the book. (If your copy doesn’t have the ISBN of the hardcover edition, you may be holding one of those early versions.)

Thank you to everyone who has prayed, supported, and encouraged me through this journey. I pray this book will be a companion to all who struggle with forgiveness, healing, and the hard work of living mercy with strength.

Here are all the places that the book is available online. In a few weeks, I will have some copies of the paperback and hardcover editions. I set up a temporary discount code through IngramSpark, the printer.

Win a free Hardcopy Edition of True Mercy Has Teeth

To celebrate the upcoming launch of True Mercy Has Teeth, I’m hosting a little challenge for early readers who received one of the first editions of the paperback (Amazon and Barnes and Noble).

Somewhere in the book, there’s a small but funny typo that snuck past me — and let’s just say, it unintentionally makes me sound a bit too eager about something liturgical.

Here’s the deal:

If you can find the typo and tell me the page number,

AND you’ve left a review (on Amazon or B&N — just keep the typo out of the review),

You’ll win a signed hardcover copy of the book!

Only the first correct entry will win — so act fast. Just email or DM me with your find (the error and page number) and where you posted your review.

And if you’re still reading, know how grateful I am. This book is a labor of love, healing, and hope. Thank you for being part of its journey.

With mercy (and a little humor),

Fr. Todd

True Mercy Has Teeth book and chapter preview.

With one week to go until the official release of my book, True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing, I’m excited to share another one of my favorite chapters—this one focused on the Good Shepherd.

To learn more or to order the book, visit my website: mercywithteeth.com. You'll find links to Amazon (print and Kindle), Barnes & Noble, and more as additional retailers pick it up. I’m grateful to share that St. Patrick's Guild also plans to carry it.

If you've already preordered or purchased the book, please consider leaving a review where you bought it—it truly helps others discover the message.

I’m also inviting readers to share their own stories of “mercy with teeth.” These could be moments where you received mercy, offered it, or witnessed it in action. The more we reflect on how God’s mercy shows up in the real lives of others, the more we may begin to recognize it in our own.

You can share your story by using the “Contact Me” link on my website or emailing me directly at mercywithteeth(at)icloud.com with the subject line: “A Story to Share.” I plan to highlight some of these stories on my blog in the future.

Now, with no further ado, here’s the chapter:__________________________________________________________________________________

8.  The Shepherd Who Stays and Fights

“I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”

– John 10:11

In John 10, Jesus gives us one of the most tender and powerful images in all of Scripture: Himself as the Good Shepherd.

 

It is not a generic metaphor. It is deeply intentional, rooted in the Old Testament and fulfilled in Christ. And in it, we find both comfort and clarity - especially when facing evil.

A Shepherd in a World of Wolves

The context matters. Jesus does not present Himself as the Shepherd in a peaceful meadow but as an active and aggressive protector from the evil that wishes to harm those whom He loves. This is not a sentimental or idyllic pastoral scene. It is a battlefield.

 

The sheep are vulnerable. The threats are real. The enemies are active.

And into this mess steps the Shepherd - not with a sword, but with love strong enough to lay down His life.

What Makes Him Good?

Jesus is not only a shepherd - but He is also the Good Shepherd. He is the moral exemplar of shepherds.

 

He contrasts Himself with the hireling who runs away at the first sign of danger. The hireling values his own safety more than the lives of the sheep. But the Good Shepherd stays. Fights. Protects. And, if necessary, dies.

 

He knows His sheep. Not only collectively, but intimately. Personally. He calls them by name. And they know His voice. That voice can be found only in true intimacy with the Lord.

 

That is not poetic fluff. It is spiritual survival.

 

In a world full of voices - accusations, deceptions, demands, and threats - we need to know His voice. Because that is how we know where safety lies when we are in the midst of the battle. When we come to Him, spend time with Him in prayer and holy silence, we learn His voice.

The Shepherd’s Authority

The Good Shepherd does not only protect. He leads.

 

He goes before the sheep, guiding them to green pastures, through dark valleys, even into the sheepfold of eternity.

 

He does not manipulate. He does not coerce. He does not dominate.

 

He leads with truth and love.

 

And He has the authority to lay down His life - and to take it up again. His sacrifice is not a tragedy - it is a victory, a deliberate act of power and love.

The Sheep’s Role

We are the sheep in this story. And while sheep are often used as a symbol of vulnerability or simplicity, in Christ’s hands, they become something sacred.

 

To be a sheep under this Shepherd is not weakness - it is wisdom.

 

Sheep do not need to know the whole map. They need to know the Shepherd. They cannot fight the wolf alone. They need to stay close to the one who can.

 

Our role is to:

-       Learn His voice through intimate prayer.

-       Obey His voice.

-       Follow where He leads.

-       Stay within His fold.

-       Trust His protection.

-       Accept His healing. 

Wounds and Trust

Some of us struggle to trust Christ as Shepherd because those who were supposed to protect us did not.

-       Maybe a parent abandoned you.

-       Maybe a spiritual leader wounded you.

-       Maybe a friend betrayed you.

-       Maybe you have never had a “shepherd” who protected you.

 

If that is you, hear this: Jesus is not like them.

He is not afraid of your wounds. He is not put off by your pain. He is not threatened by your doubts. He lays down His life - and would willingly again and again - not only in history, but in every Eucharist, every Confession, every act of mercy and grace.

 

Where others ran, He stays. 

Where others harmed, He heals.

Where others lied, He speaks the truth.

The Good Shepherd Today

This image is not locked in the past. Christ is alive, and He is still Shepherding His people.

 

He does this through:

-       The Sacraments - especially the Eucharist and Confession.

-       Scripture - His voice made visible.

-       The Church - even in her brokenness.

-       Personal prayer and discernment. 

-       Holy friendships and community.

-       Spiritual direction. 

 

The Shepherd still speaks. Are we listening?

Why This Matters in a Book About Evil

Without this image - this truth - evil wins the narrative.

 

If we do not know the Good Shepherd, then the thieves, robbers, and wolves have the last word. Pain becomes permanent. Wounds define us. Bitterness replaces hope.

 

But if we know Him - if we trust His voice - then even in the darkest valley, we fear no evil. Because He is with us (Psalm 23:4).

We need this Shepherd now more than ever. The world is full of noise, fear, betrayal, and cruelty. But He has not left us. He walks with us. He lays down His life - for you.

And in Him, the wolves do not win.

 

 

 

For Reflection:

-       What does it mean to you that Jesus knows you by name?

-       In what areas of your life have you struggled to trust Christ as Shepherd because others failed you?

-       Where is He inviting you to let Him lead again?

-       Read Psalm 23

A very productive week!!!

 It has been a very productive week!

Editing is complete. My editor has finalized his review, and I’ve completed the final formatting of the manuscript. This included adding page numbers, updating the index, and refining the table of contents for print and digital editions.

The Kindle eBook version has been uploaded and formatted for digital reading. It is currently priced at $8.99. You can pre-purchase it, and it will automatically download to your Kindle or kindle app on August 1, the official release date.

If you are interested in purchasing a Kindle version but want to pre-read it, and if you are willing to give a review on August 1, I can send you the PDF version of the book. Contact me though the new Website below! Include a screenshot or copy of the purchase! The reason I am doing this is that with some reviews the first day, it creates momentum.

The print edition will soon be available through Amazon KDP, making it accessible to readers via Amazon.com, again with the release on August 1. The price will be $20.99. Watch this page for when pre-purchases are possible, and I will offer the same deal - a copy of the PDF if you are willing to give a review.

I will be ordering at a discounted rate and will make some available for personal sales at a discounted price, but at this time, I don't think I want to create a mail service aside from a few.

Additionally, I’ve set the book up with a bookstore-friendly distributor (IngramSpark) so it can be ordered by Catholic bookstores, retreat centers, and independent shops.

Author website launched.

I’ve also launched a new website at mercywithteeth.com to serve as a home for the book, as well as future writing, and resources on mercy, healing, and faith.

My blog is now redirected there as well, and can be accessed at blog.mercywithteeth.com.

What’s Next?

Pre-orders and launch details will be coming soon.

I’ll be may be sharing sample chapters, reflection questions, and other materials in the coming weeks. Watch here or the Blog!!!

Thank you for walking this journey with me. I hope True Mercy Has Teeth will be a tool for healing, reflection, and freedom in Christ.

True Mercy Has Teeth

Dear friends in Christ,

After much prayer, reflection, and work, I’m honored to share with you of my soon to be released new book: True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing.

This book was born out of years of my own healing and through walking with people through deep wounds, betrayal, abuse, and confusion. It’s a response to the well-meaning but often cheap version of mercy that says “just forgive and forget,” while ignoring truth, justice, and the dignity of the human person.

Why “True Mercy Has Teeth”?

Because real mercy isn’t soft or sentimental.
True mercy is strong enough to name evil, to say no more, and to call us to healing that costs something.

Mercy, when rooted in Christ, does not enable sin or overlook injustice. It calls us to wholeness. It honors truth. It embraces the cross. And yes—sometimes mercy has teeth.

What You’ll Find Inside

• A Catholic theology of mercy that includes boundaries, truth, and justice

• Personal stories and pastoral insight into forgiveness after betrayal

• Guidance for survivors of abuse and deep relational wounds

• Reflections on how Christ models mercy that confronts and restores

• A call to discernment, healing, and authentic reconciliation

Who This Book Is For

• Those who have been deeply hurt and told to "just move on"

• Catholics seeking clarity on what real mercy looks like

• Counselors, spiritual directors, clergy, and ministry leaders

• Anyone trying to forgive without losing themselves

Available soon

The book will soon available in print through Lulu and Amazon including a kindle version.
You can learn more or join the mailing list here.

If you’ve ever struggled to forgive without losing your voice—or longed for justice without losing your soul—I pray this book brings you hope, truth, and healing in Christ.

In the Heart of the Good Shepherd,
Fr. Todd J. Petersen
