Dealing with Hurt from Within the Church? Read Sighing on Sunday

Sighing on Sunday

Sighing on Sunday: 40 Meditations for When Church Hurts explores the difficult—but unfortunately not uncommon—circumstances of pain experienced by people from others within the church.

Author Megan Hill is a pastor’s daughter and a pastor’s wife who draws from her own experience of seeing people wounded within the church community to compassionately address feelings of neglect, rejection, betrayal, and even abuse. In this collection of forty Scripture-based meditations, she offers empathy and biblical insights into how to heal from these difficult circumstances.

The book offers encouragement by pointing to faithful biblical figures, including the apostle Paul, who experienced criticism, neglect, and abandonment from those within the church. Yet in all of these struggles, Paul still acted in love.

This book is candid, relatable, and saturated with the Gospel. It was written to address difficulties among believers, including strained relationships, unmet expectations, leadership failures, division, and personal feelings of isolation. Sighing on Sunday also offers words of warning against Satan’s tactics that draw those who are hurting into deeper misery and redirects them to the steadfast love of Christ, who remains the head of His church despite its imperfections.

If you’ve experienced these challenges or know someone who has, request Sighing on Sunday.
