​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.

"The painstaking interrogation of the Biblical text is delightfully unrelenting​​."
