Summary

The Book of Ayub, revered in Judeo-Christian traditions as Job, stands as a profound exploration of suffering, faith, and the human condition. Written in a poetic literary style, this ancient text employs rich imagery and dialogue to convey the trials of its protagonist, Ayub, whose piety is put to the ultimate test through enduring afflictions and existential questions. The book's setting within the wisdom literature of the Hebrew Bible situates it amid broader themes of divine justice and human righteousness, as it intricately weaves philosophical discourses with poignant emotional depth. The author of this ancient work remains anonymous, yet the narrative reflects a deep engagement with the theological and existential dilemmas of its time. Likely composed during the Babylonian Exile, the work resonates with a historical context of suffering and loss, perhaps mirroring the experiences of a community grappling with divine silence in the face of pervasive anguish. This personal and communal suffering informs the book's exploration of faith under duress, evoking both empathy and introspection. I highly recommend The Book of Ayub to readers interested in the exploration of human suffering and resilience. Its timeless themes and deep philosophical inquiries resonate today, inviting reflections on the nature of faith and the complexities of life. This text serves not only as a literary masterpiece but also as a catalyst for profound existential contemplation.

    Eyes to See - Recognizing God's...

    When we encounter human suffering or personal tragedy, Christians and non-Christians alike utter the same refrain: Where is God? If God exists, then where in the world is he? Why doesn't he show himself? And how can we tell if God is really working or not?
    Tim Muehlhoff gives us insight into recognizing how God is at work in the world. He unpacks the doctrine of common grace to uncover how God works in ways that we don't always realize. If we have a limited idea of what divine action looks like—dramatic answers to prayer, healings with no medical explanation, financial needs being met unexpectedly—then we miss seeing how God acts through common grace in ordinary, everyday ways such as antibiotics, financial planners, and thoughtful friends. Muehlhoff offers dozens of illustrations from contemporary culture to help us understand and communicate how God is present and acting in the world today.
    Discover how God cares for our troubled world as he gives you the eyes to see.

    Most people want to live forever. They desire long, healthy, fulfilling lives. But God has a bigger, better plan, though it comes at a cost. There is a training process that we need to go through. More than that, a complete change of heart is needed – we must be born again. And to follow Christ, our will must be submitted to His will, and our lives must be filled with His Spirit. There is only one way to eternal life.The Apostle Peter signed up for a life like that. He left his career, his family, and whatever meager enjoyments he might have had to follow a humble, nondescript Teacher named Jesus. During those three years of training, Peter was taught by the Master. Some of those lessons were not easy at all; yet Peter was given grace in the eyes of the Lord, and when he fell, the Lord forgave him, strengthened him, and kept him to the end.What about you? Do you need courage, strengthening, and training? In this book, J. Wilbur Chapman admonishes, teaches, and encourages. Chapman's love for the Lord and for His people shines clearly in his messages. He expounds on Scripture, relates real-life stories, and tells us about the only way to be saved – and how we may experience the fullness of life in Christ.
