A four-session study of Job focuses on the search for an answer to the question of why suffering in its many forms seems to be an inevitable part of human life. Lessons explore the nature of the testing and trials of life. how to help others in their time of need, the affirmation that God is with us even when we feel that God has not treated us fairly, and how the experience of suffering can produce a new revelation of God and a deeper faith. Each chapter includes a purpose statement, the printed Bible passage, a core verse, a modern situation that the Bible passage can help resolve, formative guidance on the modern situation presented by the text, questions for personal reflection, and a closing prayer. An accompanying Teacher Book with tips for preparing the lesson, Bible background, a step-by-step lesson plan, and optional methods for each session is available.
