Publisher’s Description

Despite the themes of doom and destruction, the primary message of Jeremiah is one of the love and grace of a God who never gives up on those he has called to be his own. The prophet’s life is characterized by suffering, but he points to a new beginning, a new covenant in Jesus’ blood, and a new hope through the one who suffered on the cross for our sins. Lamentations powerfully expresses personal and national suffering. Yet, even in these utterances of desperate grief, there are glimpses of hope. Hetty bellman opens up these fascinating books for today’s readers.
