Lament for a SonThe Interim
Wolterstorff, a Christian philosopher, lost his 25-year-old son in a mountaineering accident. His cri du coeur is so poignant it has consoled a generation of grieving parents in a way that no self-help book by a professional expert ever could. Lament for a Son recieved the following endorsement from renowned spiritual writer Henri Nouwen: "By sharing the depth of his grief, not in trite phrases but honestly, Nicholas Wolterstoff helps open the floodgates for those who cannot articulate their pain. This little book is a true gift to those who grieve and those who in love reach out to comfort. Wolterstoff's words are, indeed, 'salve on our wounds.' Thank God he did not remain silent." |
