With Those Who Weep: A Theology of Tears

At best, society is indifferent to crying. At worst, it chastises and punishes it. But what if there is a third way—an option that beckons us into Christlikeness and offers us consolation from God our Father? With Those Who Weep: A Theology of Tears extends an invitation to explore how our tears form us and our sorrows catechize us. God allows us to exercise hope in our weeping, which gives purpose to our tears. Therefore, we embrace our tears as a gift. In a culture of harder, better, faster, stronger, S.A. Morrison asks us to pause and consider if the way of Christ might actually be softer, lower, slower, and weaker. Endorsements “A true and beautiful introduction to the holiness of our tears.” Paul J. Pastor, author “Sarah unearths the Bible’s surprisingly robust presentation of tears.” Steve Barbee, pastor “S.A. Morrison faithfully sounds a call to recover lament and sorrow as part of our common life.” Aarik Danielsen, Fathom Magazine columnist About the Author S.A. Morrison married her college sweetheart and has had the delight of partnering with her husband in ministry for the last ten years.
