From Despair to Hope: Insights into the Book of Job

by Peter Williams

Publisher:

Day One

, 2002

Overview

Author Peter Williams accepts that Job was a historical figure who faced up to real problems about his own suffering, about God’s justice and government, and about the malignancy of evil in the world. Job is probably one of the world’s oldest books and certainly not the easiest to understand, but it conveys some very powerful lessons for today. The author believes that we would greatly benefit by learning from this great man something of the meaning of victory over personal affliction, and the triumph of true faith in Almighty God.
