As we look into Job, it is looking back - we know it could happen to us. An upright man has lost everything because of a challenge above. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Is God really just?\" is the question here, as he uses evil to his advantage, ensuring he gets the glory. But we are not the pawns we think, as God will make clear to Job. Everything formed has been for a purpose, whether mighty, wise, solitary, menacing, or absurd. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his latest work, \u003ci\u003eThere Was A Man\u003c\/i\u003e, author Joe Conti gives the reasons why: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective preaching must astonish its hearers, as does a suffering Messiah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWisdom is knowledge rightly applied in the shadow of the cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreatness is measured by persecution and our receipt of rebuke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe zealous Elihu is a dress rehearsal for the final act of Job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe will also consider the unicorn, leviathan, and behemoth; the need for knowing our limitations; and whether Job's children were saved. The man from Uz will talk too much, try too hard, and stumble. But in the end he will know there is love in every purpose divine. So will the reader, with this our hope, that you not fear this book again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph B.
