{"product_id":"on-job-gene-fendt-9781621389668","title":"On Job: Reflections of an Accomplished Sinner on the Suffering of the Just","description":"\u003cem\u003eOn Job: Reflections of an Accomplished Sinner on the Suffering of the Just \u003c\/em\u003eoriginated as chapter by chapter reflections on the Book of \u003cem\u003eJob\u003c\/em\u003e, while the author's father was dying in a distant state. It was written and is intended to be read as an encouragement to the medieval tradition of \u003cem\u003electio divina\u003c\/em\u003e-one of the regular forms of monastic prayer-which begins with the reading of the sacred text, usually aloud (the \u003cem\u003electio\u003c\/em\u003e), followed by \u003cem\u003emeditatio\u003c\/em\u003e-a consideration of some of the important words, images, and occurrences therein. Being a scholar himself, Dr. Fendt turned to several of the more exacting scholars to \"divine\" more precisely how the original language was working. This led to his here recorded \u003cem\u003emeditatio \u003c\/em\u003e(meditation) and \u003cem\u003eoratio\u003c\/em\u003e (prayer), leaving it to the reader to join with his and her own \u003cem\u003eoratio\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003econtemplatio\u003c\/em\u003e on each of the chapters of \u003cem\u003eJob\u003c\/em\u003e. It is offered as an invitation to a very old prayer, going on under the busy-ness of the world for nearly as long as its busy-ness has been recorded.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gene Fendt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621389669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621389668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Angelico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Gene Fendt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790422143231,"sku":"9781621389668","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8dfbeec4-e05e-48c4-8134-20114be21f0a.jpg?v=1707288893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-job-gene-fendt-9781621389668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
