Walking with God Through the Valley

Recovering the Purpose of Biblical Lament

by May Young
Andrew Abernethy, professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College

A fantastic book! Not only do we learn more about lament, but we are propelled through personal examples to practice lament individually and communally. May this book help the church recover lament as a central part of life with God.
