Synopsis

Combining contemporary stories, biblical narrative and psychological insights, Held in Your Bottle looks at the many reasons why we cry, and why these tears are important to our wellbeing and to God.

Whether we are crying tears of regret, loss, gratitude or anger the Bible says that God holds them all in his bottle. We can draw comfort from the fact that no tear goes unseen by him.

Each of these emotions is explored by a modern day story mirroring a retelling of a relevant Bible character's experience. Insightful reflections then help us understand the issues raised.

Held in Your Bottle will enable you to look at the Bible in a fresh way and help you accept and understand your emotional life.
