Facing God: Unlocking the Truth of His Love and Mercy Through Life Job

Mention the story of Job and you might as well open a can of worms. There are many different opinions on suffering and trials and what happened to cause Job to go through the most horrific trials. Author Daphne Delay opens the eyes of the reader to many important truths. First, we have an enemy named Satan who has twisted and perverted our world. Although we might think that his destructive ways would push people toward a loving God, the devil has actually deceived many of us into believing that the world's pain and tragedies are part of God's doing. Yet, on the contrary, God promises in His word to be a “shelter for the oppressed and a refuge in times of trouble”. He never promised that we would not have adversity. In fact, the Scriptures teach just the opposite but with a promise, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all”. But, we also have a part to play. We have a free will and have to choose to trust in Him when hard times come. Many times we confuse what comes from our enemy and what comes from God. He is merciful and kind and patient with us and longs for us to know His character. In this book, you will realize that it isn't about your own self-righteousness to live holy but through faith in Jesus and the loving character of God that we can live an upright life.
