Publisher's Synopsis
We sometimes struggle to viscerally grasp ancient stories because they seem outside our realm of experience. Age-old stories sometimes require contemporary lenses to capture our attention. The Book of Job is that kind of story. Hidden within colorful, poetic language is the raw story of Job, one that Dr. Stephanie Jacobs has richly fleshed out, bringing the narrative close to present-day readers. Exploring Job's journey from tragedies to restorations, characters become real, traumas are not magically erased, scars do remain, and opportunities are created for readers to likely see some element of themselves in that which affects us all: moving forward after trials. May you find echoes of your experiences validated as you read this book and encouragement to move forward: starting with what you have and using who you've become!
