God's Word: Job

 God's Word: Job by ric gustafson

The author of this book is not stated. The date of this book is unclear. It is one of the oldest stories in God's Word. This book is about God allowing human suffering for his own purposes. Job is head of a large family. He is a farmer from Uz. God calls Job perfect and upright. Satan receives permission to attack Job's possessions. Despite everything taken away from him, Job keeps his faith. Then Satan receives permission to attack Job's health. In spite of terrible physical suffering, Job refuses to curse God. Job does question God why he would allow these things to happen to him. Job's friends and wife try to get him to curse God. He refuses to listen to them. 

In the end, God tells Job to simply believe and trust him. God restores Job's health, possesssions and granted him more children.
