Overview
Most people think the ancient story of Job is about losing it all and gaining it back again. But that’s just part of the story. There is much more to learn from his life, including the best (and worst) ways to help hurting friends and how to hear God’s voice in the midst of a storm. Life lessons from the story of Job teach timeless truths about understanding God’s purpose in pain and how to hold on to our hope and faith when we suffer. If you’re going through hardship (or trying to help someone who is), this book will encourage and empower you to discover a supernatural peace despite life’s pain.
