Author Francis T. Stiles’s New Book, "Oases of Mercy," is a Powerful Devotional That Invites Readers to Specifically Reflect Upon the Book of Jeremiah and His Journey

Sevierville, TN, October 30, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Francis T. Stiles, a veteran of the US Navy who has been in the ministry of God's Word since 1955, has completed his new book, “Oases of Mercy”: a thought-provoking devotional that provides an in-depth discussion on the book of Jeremiah and the valuable lessons found within its text for those seeking to develop their relationship with the Lord.

Author Francis T. Stiles received an AB degree in Bible and theology from Wheaton College, and later attended Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas, where he received a master of theology degree, majoring in Christian education. His first full-time pastorate was in Ballston Spa, New York. Since his ordination in 1963, he has served as an assistant pastor, associate pastor, pastor, interim pastor, mission executive, and Bible college-level instructor.

“‘Oases of Mercy’ is a devotional commentary on the Bible book of Jeremiah,” writes Stiles. “While it is a formidable fifty-two chapters of struggle and trials for the people of Judah and Israel, it contains, in nearly all its chapters, words of comfort and confidence. Jeramiah, who initially denied God’s will for his life, is a keen prophet. The chapters give details of his life, are filled with the sovereign hand of God, and give careful details about God’s beloved people, God’s mercy, and grace. Issues of God’s love and forgiveness speckle the hard times of Jeremiah, his amanuensis Baruch, and also the retribution of the Lord against Babylonia. The trials and triumphs of the people of God are many and severe. The justice, power, grace, and love of God shine through. Ultimate rest and God’s blessing are promised to his people. Jeremiah 50:34 gave them hope.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Francis T. Stiles’s enthralling series draws from the author’s own Biblical studies as well as his experiences as a minister to help readers gain clarity and understanding around God’s Scripture and the lessons found within.
