The story of how Job loses everything and then struggles with his pain, his ignorance and the dubious comfort of his friends, is one of the classics of world literature. But it is much more than a literary masterpiece. It is a book about life as it really is- where good things happen and bad things happen. Where confusion and doubt plague us. Where there is grief and agonising questions asking "Why?". And where there is God, whom we know is Lord of all, yet whose ways we struggle to understand.

In these six masterful studies, Bryson Smith takes us to the heart of JOB, and to the valuable lessons it teaches us about life and suffering and the true wisdom of God.

An ideal study resource for individuals or small groups.

Customer Reviews

A good study for getting at the main themes and application of Job
Review by Anonymous | 31.10.2007

Job is often thought of as daunting to understand because of the long poetic passages, the attitudes of the "friends" and the relationship between sin and hardships in our lives. This study helpfully pulls out the main attitudes and issues both of Job, his wife, and the friends. It helps us to confront our own belief about why suffering occurs and how to get alongside a Christian who is going through a hard time. We learn what is the wrong association in many peoples' minds about hardship automatically being a result of our sin.

The struggles of Job and his ultimate confrontation with God shows how great is our God and what blessings can also flow for those who maintain their trust in Him.
