Best audio book on Job, excellent must listen!

A must read for all dealing with depression, loss, grief, suffering, despair, family alienation, and any kind of fall from grace who seek Gods presence, power, purpose and clarity! It’s also so helpful for those trying to comfort others and support them in their trials. Bravo to the author Daryl Potter! He displays through this work that he is a rare blend of genuine disciple of Christ, loving wounded father, gifted writer, diligent theological researcher, straightforward gut level communicator, authentic biblical scholar and courageous storyteller.

This second edition is a uniquely accessible exploration of and exposition of Job the foundational hero of ancient times, and one of the key foundations of the scriptures and any meaningful relationship with YHWY.

Daryl’s personal journey is compellingly interwoven with Jobs and provides a counterpoint and contemporary example of the struggle of seeking answers from God in the face of intense adversity. Over 20 years of research and soul searching has borne marvellous fruit in this 2nd edition a tour de force!

As a Christian, professional counsellor myself and one who has dealt with chronic depression for many years personally as well as professionally as well as the loss of 2 marriages and 3 children I can deeply appreciate the depth of insight, the pathos, powerful encouragement and resounding revelations of love that pour forth from this book. The gentle, kind way that Daryl unearths and polishes this gem of a book so that one can be comforted and illuminated by the Son light that shines through it is inspiring.

God accomplishes much through the book of Job but for many it is tarnished (by overly complicated commentary, poor theology, incomplete research or lack of personal connection to the subject matter) and too often this book is under read and under-appreciated for all its glorious truths. It’s my sincere hope that this work greatly benefits Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and people of all persuasions who seek out true wisdom offered freely. I just purchased 5 copies to share with friends and family and as funds allow will continue to share this excellent resource with as many as I can!

God bless you Daryl for all your hard work to write this resource and the courage to share it and live for Christ in all your struggles. Your writing has uplifted so many and demonstrates the triumph of love over despair and truth over doubt and personal relationship over religiosity. Thanks be to God for your gift!
