Product Description

This new release of Gerhard E. Frost's classic The Color of the Night includes 86 short reflections inspired by the biblical Job.

Each reflection begins with a quotation from the book of Job and wrestles with the difficult issues that we face during times of crisis, such as trust in God, the meaning of life, and unfairness in the world.

With a newly added guide for study and discussion, this thoughtful book is ideal for personal devotion and group study, especially during the season of Lent. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A small, obscure literary masterpiece., August 23, 1998
By Susan Melkus (Omaha NE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Color of the Night (Paperback)
This book was a delight to read. It takes one back in time to meet a man, who like the rest of us, struggled with his faith, doubted, feared, was angry and yet never let go of his belief in his God. The pages provoke thoughtful meditations that let the reader read at an almost meditative pace. I read one or two pages and I'd have something of substance to ponder for the day. Sometimes I felt so close to the subject. Frost is quite a literary engineer to have mastered this concept and place the reader in the room with "friends" like those of Job. Those full of pat answers, advice, judgements, etc. Only to find that Job was the one to end up counseling them. I certainly will have this one in my library within easy reach. Excellent for those who have questions that don't require tidy answers, just a true faith. After reading this, one will find that it really isn't the answers we crave as much as the One who is the Answer.
