Customer Reviews

Use this book during Lent for preaching and teaching

Pastors, Christian Educators, Church Leaders, In a world where God is sugar-coated by the church, where preaching as therapy reigns, where God is our personal God at OUR beck and call, read this book. It will be an excellent resource during the season of Lent for preaching and teaching. Lament is not a topic often discussed in the Church. Lament is a true and necessary element in faith. To pretend otherwise is short-sighted, indeed. Buy the book and use it.
