Book excerpt: Grieving Hearts in Worship offers an in-depth opportunity to answer challenging questions concerning a growing disconnect between how we grieve and how we worship God.

By exploring major thoughts and writings on grief, he identifies common threads, weaving together a living tapestry that expresses the depth of personal and communal experiences of grief. Reading this contemplative approach to discussing grief and its place in worship will open your eyes to a new way of seeing Gods love for the grieving. The books practical suggestions offer church leaders and members a blend of topics, worship services, and reflection questions that include: ? Attitudes About Death and Grief ? Annual Remembrance Services ? Finding Hope in Brokenness ? Anger and Vulnerability in Worship ? Rediscovering Joy ? Walking the Labyrinth ? When A Church Dies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our relationship with God is more than acknowledging Him as Creator and Lord of all. What God desires most is a deep, personal relationship with each believer. In short, He wants to be our Father. Like all relationships, nothing tests devotion to God more than times of grief, sorrow, and loss. Relying on God is one thing easily uttered but meaning it with your heart during times of trial takes a greater amount of purposeful focus. Worshiping Through the Tears will help you walk with the Lord even when your heart is hurting the most. Through worship, you will learn to be open in conversations with God. Learn how to rely on His Holy Spirit to provide comfort—and ultimately find the peace and sense of joy promised in Scripture. “Getting over it” is not required nor should it be your goal. Walking with God through trials allows Him to experience your pain and sorrow, allows Him to hold you through grief, and enables you to experience His unbreakable love so you can get through the pain. The journey is a process that starts and continues with worship—even when you are Worshiping Through the Tears. www.encouragingworship.com
