	Under The Mercy - A Sequel To Severe Mercy - 13153 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		But this poignant volume is more than a sequel to the runaway best-seller, A Severe Mercy: it is a continuing autobiography, and an engrossing chronicle of Vanauken's writings, and always, a challenge to live the spiritual life.
		It was a chance rereading of one page of mentor C.S. Lewis that was used as a "channel of grace." he corrected his errant course and was soon again "under the Mercy." His spiritual journey led him to eventually "cross the English channel" to Rome and become a Roman Catholic.
		Under the Mercy is a vivid record of a then wayward disciple's return to the Obedience - an intensely personal and moving story.

		But A Severe Mercy is not all that Vanauken wrote.
		Readers who have read A Severe Mercy and Under the Mercy and nothing else will be surprised to find in the title essay that, when Davy was still in her teens, she left behind a child, a little girl named Marion, given up for adoption years before she met Van.
		Another treat for lovers of A Severe Mercy is an amplification of the life that Van and Davy lived, described in yachting stories written when these "comrade-lovers" were exploring the Florida Keys and Chesapeake Bay in the years just before going to Oxford.

		He was quite pleased with the look and the feel of the book; it has a painting by Davy on the cover, a picture of her on the spine, and several more pictures and illustrations inside.
		Vanauken is the author of a number of books, including the highly acclaimed A Severe Mercy and its sequel, Under the Mercy.
