Howdy and welcome to the podcast, Coffee With Phil, where we drink good coffee and talk about life and how we can make faith real.

In this episode, Phil reviews a book that has recently impacted him, pointing to the age old biblical discipline of lament, one that has been forgotten by the modern church.

Book title:  Dark clouds.  Deep Mercy.  Author: Mark Vroegop.

Here's a few links for you to check out the book:

Here are the key points I share in this episode:

1. When you're desperate you pray deeper.

2. Lament has four parts:  turn, complain, ask, trust.

3. Don't stop praying, push through.

4. Ask Boldly.

5. Pain is a platform for worship.

6. Hope springs from Truth rehearsed.

7. Lament is a surprising personal discovery.
