What Was Lost: Seeking Refuge in the Psalms

Our parish hosted an author's roundtable with the author of this book and it was such a nice event! Ms. O'Brien is warm and approachable and speaks with a genuine sense of love for Christ and his Church. She is a person who has every "right" to bitterness regarding the life events she describes in the book but who nonetheless offers a lovely model of humility, trust, and perseverance. Plus she is quite fun to listen to, her way of story-telling is engaging and charming. Highly recommend this book.

This book did not disappoint the promise of it’s title. I appreciate the openness and insights reach by the author. I recommend this for anyone who is looking for a fresh look at Psalms.

Nicely written and easy to read. I enjoyed the way the Psalms were integrated into the writers life. The book also allowed me to see how the Psalms can speak to events or situations in my life as well.

My son borrowed the book and I have not read it yet.

This book's title could not be more fitting for the words placed upon it's pages. For those who know real loss, real pain, and loneliness, read this book.
Get lost in another's pain and see, hear, and feel the refuge of the Psalms that comforted Maureen. Thank you, Maureen, for your brevity in being honest in your pain.
