Doubts, depression and discouragement are characteristic responses of someone who has endured an experience of "bad things happening to good people." When a promise from God does not come to pass, the aftermath is often confusion about validity of a personal relationship with the Lord. In Praying Through Sorrows, co-authors Dutch Sheets and Chris Jackson confront the emotional anguish awaiting the arrival of a long-delayed breakthrough. Forsaking any Christian cliché about the patience of Job, Praying Through Sorrows shows how one overcomes the debilitating state of "hope deferred making the heart sick," while seeking a restoration of faith in God’s goodness.
