Review of the book Mercy Never Sleeps by Jamie Blaine

I enjoyed reading the book Mercy Never Sleeps. It is about a person who runs the crisis call center and tends to help people who are feeing down about life and want to hurt themselves. He says in the book that those people show him what life is really about and brings himself closer to Jesus and God. He meets people with depression, people who took pills to get rid of the pain and need to go to treatment or the hospital to get help. He meets people with schizophrenia and hear things and tries to help them cope with reality. He himself is an insomniac and has trouble sleeping so he starts taking these sleeping pills but it ends up messing up his brain and in the end has a nervous breakdown and has to be hospitalized and got an IV put in him to his mind could to sleep and he could start fresh. 

He had other jobs as well such as a dj where he met lots of interesting people late at night who also couldn't sleep and heard stories of people that stuck with him and he later will use this book to tell their stories and how they came out okay in the end. I liked throughout the book how he tries to be a good Christian and reads the bible trying to understand everything. He prays to God a lot and to Jesus and I believe they heard him and answered his prayers a lot.
