"""I don't know of a better book for those who grieve and seek to better understand their grief. It is lucid, wise, and, in a deeply human sense, true."" --Miroslav Volf, professor of systematic theology, Yale University Divinity School ""Lament for a Son is Wolterstorff's 'cry of grief' over the untimely death of his son. Thirty-five years later, Living with Grief is an account of how he lives with that loss. Wolterstorff engages the likes of St. Augustine and John Calvin and finds them wanting. Where he finds true companions in living with grief is among the incarcerated prisoners at the Richard Handlon Correctional Facility in Ionia, Michigan. These prisoners, most with life sentences, have experienced unimaginable and incalculable losses, putting them, as one man put it, in a 'warehouse of grief.' Perhaps surprisingly, it is behind bars that Wolterstorff continues to learn how to live with grief redemptively."" --Todd V. Cioffi, executive director, The Calvin Prison Initiative, Calvin University"
