 "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."     —J.
