About this book
Offended by Grace: Moral Injury and the Disruption of Mercy explores the hidden relationship between moral injury and the struggle to embrace forgiveness, compassion, and reconciliation. Drawing on years of experience in pastoral ministry, disaster response, and spiritual care, G. C. Smith argues that moral injury is not only a wound to conscience but also a wound to our capacity for mercy. Betrayal, trauma, institutional failure, and profound disappointment can leave people convinced that grace is either undeserved, impossible, or even offensive.
Through stories, theological reflection, biblical insight, and practical wisdom, this book examines why wounded people often resist the very mercy they long to receive. It also offers a hopeful path toward moral and spiritual repair--not by minimizing injustice or pain but by discovering a grace deep enough to hold both truth and compassion.
Written for caregivers, clergy, disaster responders, veterans, healthcare professionals, and anyone carrying the weight of unresolved moral wounds, Offended by Grace invites readers to rediscover mercy as a courageous act of healing and hope.
