  Additional Info
  God’s identity is beyond what we could ever fully express in human words. But Scripture uses one particular word to describe the distinctiveness of God’s character: the Hebrew word hesed.

  Hesed is a concept so rich in meaning that it doesn’t translate well into any single English word or phrase. Michael Card unpacks the many dimensions of hesed, often expressed as lovingkindness, covenant faithfulness, or steadfast love. He explores how hesed is used in the Old Testament to reveal God’s character and how he relates to his people. Ultimately, the fullness of hesed is embodied in the incarnation of Jesus.

  As we follow our God of hesed, we ourselves are transformed to live out the way of hesed, marked by compassion, mercy, and faithfulness. Discover what it means to be people of an everlasting love beyond words.

  Sacred Sorrow : Reaching Out To God In The Lost Language Of Lament

  $16.99

  23 Chapters

  Additional Info
  At a time when the theme of worship is an everyone’s lips, why do so many still sense that something is missing? Could it be due to the fact we have largely ignored one-third of the Psalms–the fifty psalms of lament? Author, musician, and scholar Michael Card takes readers on a mission to recover this lost language. By investigating the lives of Job, David, Jeremiah, and Jesus, he reveals how lament is a natural and necessary part of our human experience. Find out how voicing sincere yet humble dissatisfactions with earthly suffering can be a cathartic completion of our worship and love of God.
