Decline Pity Parties & Invite Mercy

Decline Pity Parties & Invite Mercy is a bold and freeing invitation to trade toxic self-pity for God’s life-giving mercy. In this honest and biblically grounded guide, Caylin Prince — electronic design engineer and self-proclaimed “professional pity party host” — shares her own journey from sulking to surrender, and equips readers to do the same.

Exposing self-pity as a subtle but destructive trap rooted in jealousy, laziness, unforgiveness, and fear, Prince contrasts it with the empowering, healing nature of God’s mercy. With relatable insights and scriptural wisdom, she explores how grumbling can cost us joy, purpose, and even spiritual inheritance — unless we choose to get up, lament with honesty, set boundaries, and declare, “But God.”

This book is for anyone tired of spinning in the same cycle of complaining and blame. It’s a call to rise, to heal, and to walk in the freedom and strength that mercy brings.
