<br/><br/> The focus of this wonderful book is lament psalms, and their potential as a form of prayer of people engaging with distressing experiences in life. Following a pastoral and sensitive discussion of lament as a process, the work culminates with an invitation to pray some psalms of distress, with some ideas of further exploration. It is an encouragement to all Christian traditions to look with fresh eyes on the psalms as prayer as our suffering, and the suffering of many in our world, needs the language to cry out to God in times of darkness.
