Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions About God [Paperback]

An excerpt from the foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada: “With the book you are holding, you have stumbled upon the bestof guides. I should know. I first read The Cry of the Souldecades ago when I was still sorting through a lot of hurt and frustration connected with my quadriplegia (yes, I read it on that music stand holding a mouth stick). The Cry of the Soulshowed me what to do with my anger and hurt—not stuff it under the carpet of my conscience, or minimize it, but actually dosomething good with it.”

All emotion—whether positive or negative—can give us a glimpse of the true nature of God. We want to control our negative emotions and dark desires. God wants us to recognize them as the cry of our soul to be made right with Him. Beginning with the Psalms, Cry of the Soulexplores what Scripture says about our darker emotions and points us to ways of honoring God as we faithfully embrace the full range of our emotional life.
