Caring for those who are grieving is a very important but difficult job. Gene Fowler provides the church with a theological understanding of bereavement that can inform the ministry of caring for grieving people. The heart of The Ministry of Lament addresses the relationship between bereavement and the Christian faith in the service of caring ministry. Throughout the book, Fowler brings the psalms of lament into dialogue with a contemporary understanding of mourning so that the entire grief process can be addressed biblically and wholistically for the individuals who are grieving.
