The Old Testament story of Job has always been unsettling.
A good guy gets caught in a cosmic battle between God and Satan. He undergoes a test of loyalty and he passes--but only after losing everything. What kind of God would do that?
Now, an award-winning Christian book, The Joy of Job, An Investigator's Perspective on the Most Righteous Man on Earth, makes unexpected sense of the ancient mystery. Drawing on more than 350 Biblical Scriptures, it builds a remarkable case for re-interpreting what has been a disturbing story for generations. Surprisingly, Job's journey emerges as one of the greatest stories of repentance and restoration ever told.
