The book of Job speaks to some of the most universal issues of human experience. Grief, misery, sorrow and distress are played out against the backdrop of a man resolute in denying the accusations of unrepentant sin brought by three of his supposed friends.

Job's sufferings turn out to demonstrate more truth than either Job or his friends grasped. Walter Kaiser guides the reader through this often neglected book to find that pure worship in suffering is both possible and the point. A readable treatment rather than a technical commentary, and short enough to be given to someone in the middle of it.
