5.0 out of 5 stars Great Presentation - Very well done, April 7, 2009
This review is from: When God is Silent: Choosing to Trust in Life's Trials (Hardcover)
This book is obviously not meant to be a verse-by-verse look at the book of Job. The presentation and Photography in the book makes that clear from the outset. However, some critical points are made about who God is and how that should adjust our perspective on our problems and pain. Anyone going through trials will appreciate these points.

The book never made me think that I was part of some cosmic game, as the previous reviewer said. On the contrary, the truth of God's sovereignty causes us to ponder the deep thoughts that are necessary to get through times of struggle. The point of the book of Job is clearly made in this book. "God's plans are beyond our understanding and too deep to explain." - and we desperately need to know this so that we can Stop Trying to explain everything.

I would also recommend "The Problem of Pain" by C.S. Lewis
