The Book of Job
Overview
There may be no more needed book for our day than The Book of Job. The message of the book is both timeless and timely. The enduring problem of suffering vexes God’s people in every generation, and The Book of Job brings hope and encouragement to the hurting. But it is also timely, for in our day there is so much fear in The Enemy, so much teaching that it is God’s purpose always to make us happy, that we urgently need to be recalled to the messages of this book. The book teaches that God has not lost control over Satan but that He holds him firmly in check and that God is looking for people who will trust Him whatever the cost, and for people who love Him more than they love His blessings.

He was born to Arthur and Arista Gingrich on February 3, 1920 in Ozark, Illinois, the youngest of four children. Roy received God’s call to enter the Christian ministry in 1941. After intensive preparation and pastoral stints in Illinois and Indiana, he became pastor of Faith Bible Church in Memphis, Tennessee, where he remained for over 40 years.
In 1963, Gingrich graduated cum laude from Victory University (formally Mid-South Bible College) and soon thereafter joined the teaching staff. Gingrich began writing conservative Bible commentaries in 1964. Roy Gingrich’s Commentaries in Outline Form (100 vols.) includes 60 different commentaries on the books of the Bible, and 40 additional commentaries on major Bible themes.
In 2001, Dr. Gingrich retired from a long and fruitful ministry, but continued to revise his commentaries and lecture at colleges and churches in the US. In 2003, he was inducted into the Crichton College Hall of Fame.
