‘To cry is human, to lament is Christian’ writes Mark Vroegop, aiming to help Christians ‘find deep mercy in dark clouds’ through practising biblical lament.

Vroegrop, who is lead pastor of College Park Church, Indianapolis and a Gospel Coalition Council Member, writes from personal experience of tragedy, and so shares what the Lord has taught him and his church community about ‘life in minor key’. His aim is to help us: learn to lament, using the Psalms; to learn from lament, using Lamentations; and how to live with lament.
