Job is a notoriously difficult book to understand, especially through the lens of modern times.

It's objective, respective of all beliefs, and will please even the most philosophical of us.

This has to be one of the best commentary on Job. It is a fun read and ponders very intriguing questions a lot of Christians are scared to ask themselves. Thought provoking as well as entertaining.
I had the awesome privilege of reading Kyle's Genesis, and boy, was I blown away. But this one? It landed on an even more profound note, if possible. It has stuck with me since then. He opened my eyes to sides of Job's story we don't give nearly enough attention to. But I'm so glad Kyle explored them here to the Glory of God. My goodness, this book is unforgettable!
I love the little touches of humor throughout the book. The story of Job is objectively not funny at all. But the boy’s commentary adds a bit of much-needed levity to it, which will keep the reader from feeling like they’re being too bogged down by negative after negative after negative.
