Hurting with God: Learning to Lament with the Psalms
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Giving new hope to the weary, this book brings together scholarship and personal experience to understand the necessity of lament language through the exploration of the Psalms. Many writers have considered the question, Why do bad things happen to good people? Pemberton, however, sets this philosophical issue aside to consider the practical. How do believers live out faith in prolonged seasons of pain and loss? How can we live with God when it hurts - and continues to hurt? Drawing from his own daily struggle with chronic pain and years of reading and teaching the Pslams, Pemberton leads readers on a quest to recover a lost ancient resource for people of faith--the language of lament.
