**How can we trust God in the dark?** Framed around the nighttime prayer of Compline, Tish Harrison Warren, author of *Liturgy of the Ordinary*, explores themes of human vulnerability, suffering, and God's seeming absence. When she navigated a time of doubt and loss, the prayer was grounding for her. She writes: "It was this practice that gave me words for my anxiety and grief and allowed me to reencounter doctrines of the church-the church's claims about reality-not as rational, tidy little antidotes for pain but as a light in darkness, as good news." Where do we find comfort when we lie awake worrying or weeping in the night? This book offers a prayerful and frank approach to the difficulties in our ordinary lives at work, at home, and in a world filled with uncertainty.

Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work Or Watch Or Weep$34.99
I know and serve a loving, kind God. But I live in a world where bad things happen. They happen to me, they happen to people I love. How do I find balance between these things? If you feel like your bad experiences are causing you to struggle with the idea that God is good, and does good, this is your book! Tish frames it around the prayer of Compline, which requests God to watch over those who """"work, or watch, or weep"""". Prayer is something we often struggle with when life is causing us pain and heartache. We don't know what to say to God, or how to say it. We wonder if we are heard when we speak. Tish knows the feeling. Her vulnerability and courage throughout the book will leave you saying,""""She knows exactly how I feel!"""" It's like a huge hug in the pages of a book. Be ready to learn, to weep, and to wonder at the amazing, constant Truths woven through the fabric of this book. God is still good. He is powerful, and in control. And he cares for me, especially in my heartbreak. Once you've read it, pass it on, or buy a copy for someone you love. It's something that should be spread around. (Also, no COVID here!)
