EXPAND YOUR DEFINITION OF WORSHIP. It is easy to praise God when things in your life are going well, but what about the other times? What happens when mountaintop experiences cascade into seasons of struggling in the valley? God desires for us to pour out our hearts to Him, whether in joy or pain. But many of us don't feel right expressing our anger, frustration, and sadness in prayer. Our personal worship experience is not complete unless we understand the lost language of lament.In A Sacred Sorrow, author, musician, and Bible teacher Michael Card takes you
through the Scriptures to show you what your worship and prayer life has been missing. Learn
new ways to honour God and deepen your relationship with Him by: From Job to David to Jesus, men and women of the Bible understood the importance of pouring one's heart out to the Father. Examine their stories and expand your definition of worship. Let your pain, questions, and sorrow resound with praise to a God who is moved by your tears.
