Publisher's Description

In Seeing God Through the Tears, Dr. Mel Oquendo invites readers to explore the profound intersection of grief and faith. Drawing from over twenty-five years of pastoral experience, Dr. Oquendo offers a compassionate guide to navigating loss and finding God amid suffering. Through the stories of biblical figures like Job, Hezekiah, and Jesus, this book shows how sorrow can become a sacred space to encounter God's healing and grace. For people who are grieving personally or who are walking alongside others in their pain, Seeing God Through the Tears provides both theological insights and practical tools to help them embrace loss, trust in God's promises, and find hope in life's most difficult moments. Perfect for pastors, church leaders, and anyone seeking to see God more clearly through the lens of sorrow and suffering.

“Suffering enters all our lives in painfully unique ways, while mysteriously creating common ground between us. Mel Oquendo walks that common ground with his readers and offers hope—not fake optimism or thin religious one-liners—authentic hope that emerges from raw, unspeakable loss. Real stories, thoughtful questions, practical suggestions—you’ll discover the gifts of wisdom and companionship Seeing God Through the Tears offers.”
