Fruit for the Soul: Luther on the Lament Psalms

by Dennis Ngien, Robert Kolb (Foreward)

It is easy to forget how often Luthers concerns turned toward helping the common person understand and take comfort from Gods word. In this brief volume, Dennis Ngien helps contemporary readers engage Luthers commentary on the lament psalms. Difficult to understand, and perhaps even more difficult to implement in life and devotion, the lament Psalms play a key role in Luthers thought, and Dennis Ngiens careful explanation of them and their use rewards the reader.

[Luke]

Wonderful and thorough guide to Luther's tremendous theology of the cross, a spiritually helpful guide to reading the psalms of lament, to help with suffering and grief and loss. Lots and lots of Luther quotes, and even after all these years, nobody says it better than this reformer who was at heart a good pastor, concerned primarily with care of the soul.

[Christopher Raffa]

Just amazing. A must read. A well of consolation and truth that one will return to countless times.
