Description

A Glimmer of Light: Studies in the Book of Lamentations
By Paul Young

Lamentations is often neglected by churches and preachers today. Yet it has powerful relevance for God’s people in contemporary society. It is a book that needs to be read, studied and applied.

Lamentations is a fascinating book tucked away towards the end of the Old Testament. It is a very short book and consists of just five chapters. It can be read very quickly, easily in half an hour. Yet it is far from being the most familiar part of Holy Scripture and many Christians today know little or nothing about its message. We rarely hear it spoken about or its text preached upon in our churches these days. It maybe that the title `Lamentations’ with its connotations with sadness and mourning discourages many people from giving it serious consideration. Yet it does contain some of the best known and best loved verses in the Bible and we gain many valuable insights into the nature of God through this book and also we become increasingly aware as we read these five chapters of God’s dealings with His people when they sin.
