The Cry of the Soul

Feb.15, 2010 in Book Review, Counseling, Suffering and Sovereignty

In The Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions About God Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. Tremper Longman III insightfully address the role of human emotions amidst the chaos we often call life. Their work provides hope and direction for life’s darkest moments through directing struggling man to God’s sovereign purposes amidst emotional calamity. “God uses tragedy-the unexpected reversal of hope and humility-to bring about repentant brokenness and redeemed hunger. In the boast of weakness, He reveals His character and His good plan for us.” (page 189) The Cry of the Soul is an excellent resource not only for Biblical counselors, but also for all believers striving to process the emotional side of humanity.
