No man or woman is far from pain, disappointment, or grief. Living conditions may vary; knowledge regarding the causes of suffering may differ; time may separate by centuries--but all men and women know suffering.

These questions and more were in Dr. Pease's mind when he wrote this book. He leads us through the book of Job, uncovering with honest examination God's answers to our human distress.
