Publisher's Description

With gripping interpretation and excellent anecdotes, this book links Job’s experience with the gospel, showing that his hope was the same as ours today. In Jesus our questions and confusions are resolved, our faith vindicated, and our suffering redeemed. "Why do the innocent suffer? Drawing upon his years of pastoral ministry, David Jackson takes us on an interesting journey where we experience, along with Job, 'the depth of God’s grace to us in Christ—who, by his own choice, suffered more than Job to save us from the cruelty and domination of sin.' This book is a ‘must read’ for anyone going through difficult times."
