Lamentations is among the most neglected books in the Bible, which is unfortunate, because it is the one Scripture gives to people whose suffering is the consequence of sin and who have nowhere to put the grief. This volume is at once a verse-by-verse commentary and a biblical counselor's guide to using the book in counseling situations.

Paul Tautges and Eric Kress bring the full meaning of the text to the surface and then fill the commentary with practical suggestions for how this much-needed teaching on acting rightly in the midst of deep suffering can be carried out, to the glory of God and the enrichment of the individual believer. For those in times of distress, and for those who counsel them.
