About the Book
In the Bible story of Job, we encounter Job as a real-life character. Throughout his trials, Job’s faith in God never falters; redemption comes with his awareness of how little we know in comparison with God’s omnipotence.
Job’s story is told poetically as in his closing remarks: “So much for history and what occurred, as if a dream to me: what took me past the tragedy of life to find we are rooted beyond strife which forces us to meet God, to commune with Him. Alas, we pass this way too soon!” Many different translations of the Bible were used for reference.
