Job: Where Is God in My Suffering? (The Gospel-Centered Life in the Bible)
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
The book of Job is an agonizing journey through the suffering of a godly man. We listen to his heart-wrenching thoughts and prayers and feel his confusion. Each person inevitably reads this story out of their own experience with suffering and disappointment. What is God up to? Why is this happening? Does he even care how we hurt?
Job: Where is God in My Suffering? creates space for prayers, reflections, and conversations in which Job’s story, your story, and Jesus’s story all come together. All who suffer (and that’s everyone!) will find greater meaning and significance in their own experience as they encounter the God who sent his perfect Son to suffer for us.

Marc Davis invites us to join Job in questioning God about suffering, injustice, and even his trustworthiness and character. Davis helps us find hope that Job couldn’t yet know—our suffering is redeemed by ‘wrapping our stories’ into Jesus’s story. Ultimately, healing is found in an ever-deepening relationship with our Savior-God.

The book of Job highlights profound questions common to all of us when we suffer and when we are overwhelmed by suffering in the world around us. This insightful and encouraging study points us repeatedly back to Jesus as the ultimate innocent sufferer and the Redeemer and Mediator for us all. Marc Davis skillfully leads us through lamenting suffering, mortality, and injustice while simultaneously weaving in the hope of the gospel, which calls us into a more intimate relationship with our just and merciful Father.
