The Calamity of Job - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Bible says that Job was a good man, held in high regard by all around and greatly blessed. But Job's life took a series of terrible downturns, he lost many things including his livelihood, health and even his children.Job got plastered by the devil and he didn't know why. He wanted to know what on earth was going on. It's often the same with many people today. They are going along through life, just being as nice as they can be and then suddenly: Bam! Like Job, they are hit with a series of inexplicable tragedies.Theologians tell us that such things are the sovereign hand of God. They point to the story of Job - a man who served God with all his heart and yet who God sovereignly decided to let the devil loose on, to prove something profound. Or did He?Take a closer look in this challenging book. Martyn Shenstone shows that while Job did everything right, he said everything wrong and wrecked his own life. See straight from the scriptures how God was ready to deliver Job at any point in his trials, but could not. Why? Because of Job's attitude.Read the amazing faith filled words of Job's friend Elihu, who preaches about God's goodness so powerfully that the heavenly realm splits open and God Himself physically appears to Job. See also how God's wrath is aroused against Job's other three friends, as they wrongly announce that it was God who killed Job's children and punished him for his supposedly hidden sin.
