Wrestling With Job
IVP Academic, 2022
By Bill Kynes and Will Kynes

WHO: Bill Kynes, senior pastor at Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church in Annandale, Virginia, and a senior teaching fellow with the C.S. Lewis Institute; and Will Kynes, associate professor of biblical studies at Samford University.

THEY SAY: “Will your faith in God’s goodness endure when it is tested?”

THE BIG IDEA: The book of Job can’t be simply read; it must be experienced.

THE PROGRESSION: In 10 chapters and 43 Digging Deeper comments, the authors dig deep into the key question, Will you trust God—will you believe that he is good and worthy of your praise—regardless of your circumstances?

“The book of Job will encourage us, in whatever our circumstances, to persevere in faith to the very end.”
