About this item
As we struggle with pain over our family, community, or nation, expressing our sorrow will help release the pressure and make us more useful to those around us.
This booklet was originally written a few days after the tsunami waves struck Sri Lanka in December 2004, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of people and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of others. Ajith Fernando, national director of Sri Lanka Youth for Christ, wrote that original booklet out of the overwhelming suffering the tsunami brought to his friends and countrymen. The challenges and encouragement he offered were so pertinent to the struggles following hurricanes Katrina and Rita that this booklet has been revised to respond to the catastrophes in the Gulf Coast of the United States.
