Preaching on an obscure, depressing Old Testament book was probably not the most seeker-sensitive way to launch a church. But it shaped their community witha radically countercultural perspective.\nThe American church avoids lament. But lament is a missing, essential component of Christian faith. Lament recognizes struggles and suffering, that the world is not as it ought to be. Lament challengesthe status quo and cries out for justice against existing injustices.\nSoong-Chan Rah's prophetic exposition of the book of Lamentations provides a biblical and theological lens for examining the church's relationship with a suffering world. Itcritiques our success-centered triumphalism and calls us to repent of our hubris. And it opens up new ways to encounter the other. Hear the prophet's lament as the necessary corrective for Christianity's future.\nA Resonate exposition of the book of Lamentations.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0830836942\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0830836942.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rah, Soong-Chan|Salter McNeil, Brenda\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
