Hopeful Lament : Tending Our Grief Through Spiritual Practices
$18.99
We need to rediscover lament to heal and hope again.
We’ve lost the practice of lament. Most people don’t know how to process personal or communal mourning and instead struggle to honor their tears, vulnerability, and the full weight of these disillusioning times. But tending our grief might be exactly what we need to reimagine a way forward.
Tracing her difficult experiences of a catastrophic home fire, a threat to her child’s well-being, and other devastating losses and upheavals, Terra McDaniel offers a clear framework for expressing heartache and burdens. McDaniel says, “Lament is surprisingly hopeful. As strange as that may sound now, I promise it’s true. It’s an act of trust both that we can face pain and survive, and that God cares about our anger, confusion, doubt, grief, and fear. Lament refuses to bury pain or, just as dangerous, to give in to despair.”
Hopeful Lament makes space for the powerful act of crying out before a loving God and offers provoking reflection questions, embodied practices, and applications for families with children. Learn how to journey gently through suffering.

“If life gives you lemons; make lemonade.” It’s a popular saying; and it’s meant to inspire us to move past the hardships we face, and help us “get over” our hurts and pain. But there’s one problem. Even with lemons, you can’t make lemonade unless you have … the recipe.
Nessipees: Nessey’s Recipes for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Wholeness brings you the recipes for life and health that take the bitterest of fruits and transform them into the most delectable encouragements and victuals that will help you persevere through pain and frustration.

From the depths of a debilitating illness, Jenness has written the joys she’s discovered as she has clung to the Light of Christ in the darkness of suffering; one of which happened to be her ability to create “healthy” treats and sweets that sacrifice the guilt, but NOT the taste. Having to eat differently to cater to her health’s demands, Jenness began to create recipes specifically designed for those, with a myriad of health issues, and found the means to make them in such a way that will make ANY mouth water and hunger for more!
So, if you’re looking for recipes to create “Life’s Lemonade,” look no further than Nessipees, a beautifully inspiring and tasty 21-Day devotional cookbook that will feed your heart and your health.

Then all that love overflows onto their kids! When we make room for ourselves to be filled with God’s love and care for our most important relationships, nobody’s “cup of love” will run dry.
