This book gives a very good foundation for the purpose and goal of biblcal lament as it walks through several psalms of lament and also the book of Lamentations. Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God - but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today.
• None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of God by Matthew Barrett, this book helps us to put God back in his place…as God. Barrett says that for too long, Christians have domesticated God, bringing him down to our level as if he is a God who can be tamed. But he is a God who is high and lifted up, the Creator rather than the creature, someone than whom none greater can be conceived. This book is a journey to rediscover the divine perfections of God.

This promise is better than God just removing our problems, instead, he walks with us through them.
