Lament for a Son by Nicholas Wolterstorff

4.0

It’s always interesting to see others’ perspectives on grief. They’re difficult things to rate, being so very personal, and I’m sure part of my not finding this Perfect is just that I’m coming from a less relatable set of experiences. How reasonable is it to call someone else’s resolution of a religious crisis unsatisfying? Especially since, had it not been written down and sold, I’d never tell someone to think harder about their faith. Still, this book was deeply moving. You can feel how much the author loved his son.
