Our souls are crying out.


The world is shaking. Things are changing rapidly, and not for the better.


Conflict. Division. Anger. Rage. Hatred. Threats. Violence. Lawlessness. Destruction. Illness. Disease. Death.


Personal stresses and losses. Relational conflicts. Family fragmentation. Strained friendships. The painful, and often traumatic loss of people we love and care about - friends, neighbors, family members, siblings, spouses, children, grandchildren.


It can seem like everything is falling apart.


We need to vent about all this. We need to vent in God's direction. Our souls need to cry out to Him - honestly and authentically.


This is what Soul Cry is all about.


Soul Cry is a book of devotional prayers which are grounded in the Bible and designed to connect with your soul. Each chapter contains a prayer based on a Bible verse or passage. These prayers are brief - about 2-3 pages long. Soul Cry was written for followers of Jesus who are grieving and suffering from all the loss and change in their own lives and in the world around them. The goal of Soul Cry is to help wounded hearts cry out to God amid the pain, chaos, and upheaval that surrounds them.


Soul Cry was designed to be read straight through, one chapter a day. The book contains daily prayers for three months, with 31 prayers for each month.

In essence, Soul Cry is a daily prayer devotional.
