Summary: 5 Stars
My son died from injuries suffered in a fall while serving in the Peace Corps in Zambia in 2005. This book has put words to many of my own feelings. It is raw and heart wrenching. I have quoted many of the passages in this book. I highly recommend it for any grieving parent. We have a copy in our Compassionate Friends library, where it will serve as a comfort to many others.Book Review: Lament for a Son
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a mother grieving for the lost of a wonderful son. During my six month's grief journey I have read numereous books on how to walk this journey. I was in hopes that Nicholas Wolterstorff's book, "Lament for a Son" would be of comfort and enlightenment to me. I was wrong. Instead of uniting the grieving reader with him this book gave me very little comfort, instead it angered me. Instead of human speak Mr. Wolterstorff gave me academic speak. I will not be keeping this book, nor passing it on to another one in need. Respectfully, Hellen Spear, Glendora, CABook Review: Lament for a Son Comforts
Summary: 5 Stars
Refreshingly honest and achingly real, Lament for a Son speaks to the excruciating agony of losing a child. While grounded in Christian hope, there are no platitudes here. This is a perfect book to give a grieving parent.Book Review: One of the best books about a grieving parent I have read
Summary: 5 Stars
My sister lost her son six years ago. She has read every grief book on the market as part of her own grieving process, her therapy. She sends many of them to me to read. Of all the ones that I have read this one was the best. I read it in one sitting one, I couldn't put it down, if you can imagine not wanting to put down a book about a father grieving for his son.
I have since bought about ten copies to give away.
