Review
Life can be terribly precarious. Just when everything seems to be going well, we find ourselves sick in the hospital, mourning the loss of a loved one, dismissed from a job, stunned by a broken relationship, or depressed and bewildered by circumstances beyond our comprehension. Invariably, people show up to tell us exactly where we went wrong and what we must do to get better. Job was no exception. in the midst of his pain, his friends arrived with their advice. Although some of what they said was true, the answers they gave were impersonal, lacking in intimacy -- and fell far short of the wisdom Job desperately needed. Job rejected their easy answers and longed instead for an answer straight from God. Eugene Peterson brings the same passionate, honest, insightful language to one of the most familiar (and troubling) books of the Bible. Much more than just a story of pain and suffering, the book of Job probes the depths of human struggle -- a struggle that involves wrestling with the very nature of God. Written in the frank, everyday language we use today, Peterson's rendition of "Job" invites us to ask the difficult questions that arise when life seems to be spinning out of control. And with Job, we realize that simple solutions or complex formulas to the mysteries of life aren't really what we want. What we really want and need is the relief and comfort that comes from God himself, speaking to us out of the whirlwind. -- Midwest Book Review
