Synopsis

In this guide to the Book of Job for the lay person, the author exhorts us to Walk Upright , and live a holy and faultless life in the sight of God, regardless of what happens. He relates this to the example of Job, who lived an upright life and was in possession of riches, wealth and influence known to few others of his time, and graced with a loving family and a love of God. In detailing the story of suffering, pain and ultimate redemption experienced by Job, the author asks the question: Why Not Job ; in fact: Why Not Us/Me ? This, the first treatment and full explication of Job in over a decade, is fully illu¬minated by abundant references to modern life and the present-day struggles and afflictions known to man. Finally, the Book of Job addresses more than Job s suffering, but also the question of how we should conduct our family life and Walk Upright. Any Christian who has known suffering and pain (and who has not), will benefit enormously from reading this book, and concluding with the author, that God s wisdom is beyond human comprehension.

About this title

About the Author:

JOB by Gregory V. Jones, Jr., is about the Old Testament book of Job, discussing Job s life, God s treatment of him and most importantly, relating everything to modern day life. The reader soon learns that Bible experts and learned scholars have struggled to make sense of Job.

Review:

Dr. Jones has a unique gift of grasping and communicating the glorious, and sometimes, mysterious, truths of Scripture. After personally experiencing a devastating and prolonged illness, with intense pain and suffering, Dr. Jones writes from an insider's perspective captures the glory majesty, and wisdom of our great God. In essence, the readers are challenged to make a paradigm shift in their thinking, not so much on pain and suffering, but on Who our God is. Our great God is sovereign and is in total control, not only over all creation, but also in the midst of our sufferings. He is a compassionate, holy and loving Father, even if it appears to us He is distant or silent. As the author masterfully draws out principles and precepts from the book of Job, he shows the readers that God allows hardships and trials into out lives in order to grace us with a tremendous increase. This book is a must read! --Brett Williams, Editor, Dallas Bible College
