The "difficult psalms" which amount to more than a third of the Psalter, shock us with their cries of pain, anger, and alienation. They call on God for revenge on their enemies and mercy for themselves. Lyn Fraser, following the lead of Old Testament theologian Walter Brueggemann, shows how to integrate these "psalms of disorientation" in Sunday morning worship, pastoral care, and any situation of extreme need.

"Lyn Fraser’s book, Prayers from the Darkness: The Difficult Psalms, is a scholarly and practical guide for assisting people in distress. By utilizing Lyn’s use of the psalms of lament, chaplains and spiritual providers can guide a patient or parishioner in voicing distress and doubt, leading to a place of hope and clarity.Teaching as a chaplain supervisor for twelve years, Prayers from the Darkness is an essential book in the curriculum as well as in my work as a hospice and palliative care chaplain."
