Description
The book of Job in the Old Testament tells of a prosperous man who was very good who lost much of what he owned and had 10 children die in one day. Then he was struck with a terrible illness. The book includes lengthy discussions between Job and his friends and tells of the gnawing questions and frustration Job experienced. Job also contains the longest quoted passage of God speaking in the Bible, which ranges from ranges from high to low in creation. Was Job a real person? What was God's answer to Job? What did his friends think of Job in his suffering?
How does the beauty and majesty of the heavens and of creation fit in with our sorrows, doubts, and suffering? While Wayne and Dan certainly don't propose to have all the answers, in this episode and in part two, they wrestle with the message of the Book of Job in hopes it can be an encouragement to you.
