Review Quotes

Church hurt comes in many shapes and sizes, but we can all find comfort in the same place. On page after page, Megan Hill gently applies truths from Scripture to the questions and aches of a soul that is wounded by church hurt. Sighing on Sunday reminds us that though the church may hurt us, Christ and his Word will never fail us. There is healing on the other side of church hurt, and these devotions are a great place to start.--Winfree Brisley, Editor, The Gospel Coalition

Church hurt is real, and it really hurts--whether it comes from sinful shepherds, suffering in a fallen world, or Satan's designs. Megan Hill has done us all a service by taking us back to the Scriptures and to the heart of Christ, offering words of wisdom and warning, as we seek healing in the body of Christ where we've experienced hurt.--Trevin Wax, Vice President for Research and Resource Development, North American Mission Board; Visiting Professor, Cedarville University; Author, The Thrill of Orthodoxy, Rethink Your Self, and Gospel-Centered Teaching

It took me only a couple of years as a pastor to realize something that has shaped my ministry ever since: everyone in the church is hurting. Not a single individual in a pew or behind a pulpit remains free of pain. Unfortunately, too often that hurt stems from experiences in the church itself. Megan Hill's insightful book, Sighing on Sunday, provides welcome counsel, relief, and balm for the Christian pained in or by the church. These pages are filled not with the ruminations of theorists or the well-wishes of pop psychology but with the only true comfort for saints in need--gracious abiding truths from the loving Lord of the church. As Megan Hill finishes each meditation, "Read. Reflect. Pray."--Jason Helopoulos, Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan

Megan Hill beautifully weaves the wisdom of Scripture into the delicate area of church hurt. Sighing on Sunday will encourage those who are weary from the deep hurts inflicted by their church family while providing helpful direction for navigating the complexities in the days ahead.--Darby Strickland, Faculty, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation; Author, Is it Abuse?

Megan's book is an invitation to exhale and think biblically as we encounter the inevitable disappointments in Christ's church.--Karen Hodge, Women's Ministry Coordinator, Presbyterian Church in America
