A phone call at the wrong hour. A scan with a shadow on it. A friend in a hospital bed, and you in the doorway with your hands empty, not sure whether to bring a casserole, a Bible verse, or nothing at all.

The book of Job was written for that moment. A good man loses his children, his work, and his health. Three friends come, weep, and sit with him on the ground for seven days without a word. Then they open their mouths, and everything they say makes it worse. Job argues, laments, and refuses to stop talking to God. And at last God answers him out of the whirlwind.

Inside

  • Why good people suffer, and why "everything happens for a reason" so often wounds
  • Lament: how to bring your darkest words to God without leaving His presence
  • What Job's friends got right (they came, they wept, they sat in silence) and what they got wrong
  • Loneliness, unanswered prayer, the hiddenness of God, and the prosperity of the wicked
