Publisher's Synopsis
"Though the book of Job consists largely of speeches by Job and his friends, it is not a human response to suffering endured or observed. The book of Job is God's own word concerning the suffering of his people. Through the suffering of Job, God speaks to all of us concerning our trials and the suffering that is so much a part of life. God's message is summed up in James 5:10-11: "Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.""--
