I'm a Christian. Should I be happy all the time?
Jesus knows that we will get weary and burdened sometimes that's why He invites us "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest"
Why then do so many Christians feel that they are not allowed to show their grief and sorrow?
In this candid and provocative book, Rev. Rico G. Villanueva brings us back to the biblical practice of lament found in the lament psalms and writings of the prophets. He also addresses the "praise-only" and "always-victorious" attitude of many churches that alienate the hurting, the troubled and the struggling. He shows how lament is part of the Christian life; giving hope, release and deeper intimacy with God.
