Produktbeschreibung
Grief is a language many are forced to learn. Yet, the spaces many turn to for solace often fail to make room for its depth and complexity. Tears at the Altar, Lament in My Breasts is a courageous exploration of lament as a sacred act of worship and a pathway to healing. Born from the author's raw experience of the death of her child, this book invites readers into the messy, unfiltered reality of grief while challenging churches and communities to reimagine worship as a space where lament is not only welcome but essential. Through touching personal reflections, a bold reexamination of Scripture, and practical tools for ministry, this book illuminates how lament can liberate us from the silence and suppression that too often accompanies suffering. Whether you are grieving, supporting someone who is, or rethinking how faith communities engage with trauma, Tears at the Altar offers wisdom, vulnerability, and hope through naming the pain, honoring the love, and knowing that God is in the midst of it all.
