Publisher's Synopsis
Does God punish people? What does wrath have to do with God's love? How do I pray when I'm angry and suffering? Walk alongside the Poet as he laments the loss of his beloved city of Jerusalem and the beautiful temple where Israel met with their God. Learn to write your own lament as you read about a God who invites you to voice your pain to him.
"This fantastic study teaches us to grieve with hope. It guides readers verse by verse through the text with helpful observation questions, insightful commentary, and compelling prompts for personal reflection. I walked away encouraged to connect with God by laying my pain before him as we await our promised restoration." -Hunter Beless, founder of Journeywomen and author of Amy Carmichael: The Brown-Eyed Girl Who Learned to Pray
"This study on Lamentations wrestles with the discipline of God and the impact of sin on a community while teaching biblical lament. After using the study, I understand Lamentations more deeply through the clear observation questions, the thorough yet accessible interpretation, and the meaningful reflection questions. This study will be helpful to all women seeking to know the full counsel of Scripture, especially those walking through suffering or wrestling with big questions"- Maggie Combs, content director for Well-Watered Women and author of Motherhood Without All the Rules
"Chris and Hope offer insights into this often-overlooked book that bring new life to this story of loss and death. If you're looking for a guide through this heavy but hopeful book, look no further. This study reminds me why I love Chris and Hope: because they have walked through the valley but keep their eyes on Christ." - Melissa Zaldivar, author of What Cannot Be Lost
