Lament is how you live between the poles of a hard lifestyle and trusting God’s goodness.

Lament is how exactly we bring our sorrow to God-but it really is a neglected dimension from the Christian existence for most Christians today. We have to recover the practice of honest religious struggle that provides us permission to vocalize our discomfort and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, gradually moving us toward deeper worship and trust.

Exploring how the Bible-through the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations-gives voice to our discomfort, this book invites us to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God provides in the darkest moments of our lives.
