Opis

Job is quietly going about his business when God decides to boast about him to the devil, pointing out what a fine, upstanding man Job is. Needless to say, shortly afterwards all hell breaks loose in Job's life. This is a modern, contemporary retelling of Job's story for the age of emails, twitter, blogs and ordeal by media.It examines what it's like to live with pain and sorrow in a world where the ground seems to be constantly shifting under our feet. Job's trials are viewed from two perspectives - that of the angels in heaven who are perplexed at God's dealings with Job, as well as the viewpoints of Job and the people around him.The book explores how angels may regard the crazy antics of human beings and how God feels about people and the universe, using excerpts from the journal of a junior angel, Adiel. The journal gives a birds' eye view of events in heaven, as well as the thoughts of Job's zero-tolerance guardian angel, Barachiel. The story considers what the bible tells us about how we ought to deal with pain and bewilderment, and how to hang on to our faith in God even when he seems to be very, very absen
