Annotation: If your students have ever heard the story of Job, they are likely to remember one thing?suffering. (Well, they might remember a pile of cow dung, but they?re teenagers!) While suffering is a prevalent theme in Job, the stories inside this book also provide readers with truth and wisdom about a just and loving God who walks with us in the midst of an unjust world.
Every human being?Christ follower or not?has asked, ?Why does God allow suffering?? We all know that there are no easy answers to that question. But as you take the book and story of Job piece by piece, you?ll be able to guide students towards a better understanding of this God who can be so difficult to comprehend.
Through the twelve sessions, you?ll help your students face some of the tougher issues of life, like:
? The relationship between sin and suffering
? How to be a friend to those who are suffering (and how not to be!)
? Why don?t the wicked suffer?
? How to survive suffering (and let God be God)
