God's Word for Today: Job/Compassion in Calamity, (Paperback)

(8 sessions) Why do the just suffer? Where is God in the midst of loss, illness, ridicule and defeat? Those questions probe deeply into the heart of every person, and all too often demand ready answers in our uniquely human, and sometimes painful, experience. Job's true story of God's grace in the midst of his profound suffering will teach you:

• the purpose of adversity in the lives of the faithful;
• the role of Satan regarding our relationship with God;
• the hope and strength we have through the promise of our Redeemer.

Each study in the God's Word for Today series provides an in-depth exploration of a book of the Bible. Each session includes:

• background information on the book of the Bible, its author, audience, occasion, and purpose;
• learning experiences that promote exciting and challenging discussions;
• notes for leaders that answer questions, suggest a learning process, and provide additional information;
• discussion starters that help participants apply God's Word to their daily lives.
