Lament ought to be a part of every life because
everybody suffers and suffering means loss.
At Lent each year Christians take time to
reflect on life and its losses and so work
toward a bettered wholeness in every form
of their discipleship.

This book offers six brief but practical chapters
on themes related to human suffering through
inspiration from the Old Testament book of
Jeremiah’s Lamentations.

Jeremiah’s Lamentations show us the
“weeping” prophet in his full possibility as a
poet of human sorrow and remorse. It helpfully
charts a course for us to deal with grief and
take seriously the world’s and our own pain
and suffering at Lent.
