Just recently I finished teaching through the book of Job in an adult class at church. I had Ray Stedman's sermon notes to refer to, but I also studied a dozen other commentators in preparing to teach my class. In his practical advice and penetrating insights I found Ray Stedman to be head and shoulders above the other commentaries I had in my library (or had purchased recently). Ray can not hide his deep, personal faith. His pastoral compassion toward his readers is evident. In teaching one book of the Bible, it is obvious that Ray takes into account the whole Bible and its complete message to mankind. Stedman's writing style is easy to follow even when the subject material is profound. Jim Denney's excellent editing of these sermons on Job makes this a book I will give to a good many friends--and a book I highly recommend to anyone.
This is an outstanding commentary on the book of Job. Very readable and most encouraging to those of us who are suffering from what we think are very difficult situations/people. I learned a lot about how to comfort those who have lost loved ones, and believe it or not, I was encouraged by Stedman's explanation of why bad things happen to good people. This book was a great blessing to me.
This book changed my outlook, and thereby my life. It answered many questions I had as to why a good God allows terrible things to happen, and the real reason why He seems so far away when we need Him the most. I recommend this book to anyone, Christian "rookies" and "veterans" alike, who are genuinely interested in looking deeply into the nature and mind of our great God. He IS good, and He is God, and He is much bigger than the mental box I currently have constructed to house Him.
Really helped me as I went through the book of Job. After falling and breaking a bone-this arm had already had three previous surgeries on it-I was disheartened and in emotional/spiritual pain as well as intense physical pain. It was in prayer as I was crying out to God that I heard him call me to the book of Job. I went onto and found this resource that stood out among all others.I will finish up the book of Job today along with this book as I used it chapter by chapter with Job. The best resource I could have gotten and so grateful for discovering this and God leading me to Job. We all have our trials and hardhsips but no one understands them more that God and Job. Puts everything into perspective. Thanks be to God!.
This is a wonderful book and really makes clear what you read all through Job. It helped me to really understand Job and also helped me to see myself and things I need to change about me. I highly recommend this book to other Believers in Christ. Ray Stedman did a wonderful work writing this book. After reading this, I had no more confusion about what it meant.
Many avoid studying the book of Job due to its twin themes--bad things happening to good people and speculation as to why they happen. Instead this book focuses on a third theme: the awesomeness of God, His perfect justice, and His perfect love.
I have read Job many times but never understood it as Ray Stedman explains it. He backs everything up with scripture and it is a very compelling read. I will read it again and a. I highly recommend it.
The book is an excellent commentary n the book of Job. It is plainly written and easy to read. It is an excellent selection to use for family reading time.
