Product Description
Based on the synopsis at the back of the book: A man of colossal faith in the face of overwhelming tragedy. Job, a study in pathetic tragedy...a hapless victim of unfair treatment. His disastrous circumstances overwhelmed him. His boil-covered body tormented him. His so-called friends belittled him. His distraught wife discouraged him. Even God Himself seemed to desert him - letting Satan have his devilish way. And Job sat patiently by enduring it all. Not a portrait of a hero, or is it? Could a man with ordinary internal fortitude stay faithful as Job did? Could a wimp endure the excruciating pain, suffering and loss that this man did? No hero? Think again. After a year of focused research into the life of Job, popular Bible teacher and America's beloved pastor, Charles Swindoll says, "Job appears boldly in the ancient book of the bible that bears his name, and yet most of us have not taken the time to examine his life in depth. But a careful study of Job's life will convince us that this is another of God's amazing men with heroic character qualities worth emulating." Travel with Pastor Chuck into the horrific world of Job: A Man of Heroic Endurance. Once voted amongst the 20 most effective communicators in the English Speaking world by Baylor University, Charles Swindoll has a writing style that is warm, uplifting, and encouraging, A must-read for avid fans of the writer as well as believers desiring to understand the perennial philosophical paradox of divinity and human suffering. |
