Harrington’s Books
NO MERCY, NO JUSTICE
In his first book, Rev. Harrington draws on more than 42 years’ experience as a criminal prosecutor, a pastor of inner-city church in an impoverished neighborhood, and the founder of a legal ministry protecting indigent victims of family violence and child neglect and abuse. Through moving stories of women and children he has encountered, he shows the terrible toll of the dominant narrative’s version of justice and mercy. And he offers Christians hope with new and startling insights into God’s justice and mercy revealed in the parables of Jesus.
Paloma: Happy Are Those
Rev. Harrington’s second book is a novel. Paloma: Happy Are Those tells the story of two people from vastly different backgrounds and circumstances who struggle together to find God in a world of random injustice and human evil. It is, as Harrington describes it, “a book about poverty, the church, and the justice system in contemporary Fort Worth.”
