Praise for this book

While lament is extremely difficult to do well, it is a necessary step in the continuing struggle for justice. This collection of essays points us to example after example of lament but it does not leave us with examples. These authors also remind us that lament is not a thing that we witness or read about; it must be experienced and implemented. We have reason to weep. Read this book and do so.
