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. Through the use of stories, poetry, creative worship services and thought-provoking discussions, Landon shares his unique understanding of the nature of our need for rituals in worship as a beneficial part of our journey towards healing. 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
