Both and ancient work of poetry, and the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job asks the earnest question of mankind:

Why do bad things happen to good people?Why do bad things happen to good people?

Afflicted with disease, stripped of his wealth, and asked to confess to evil provocations, righteous Job reaches through his cloud of suffering and strains to touch God.

We have heard Job's story. Yet as we ponder Job's misery, do we see the threads of God's mercy in it? We will all face suffering at some point in our lives; it is inescapable. But what makes calamity endurable is not that God shares our shock, but that through every flame of pain and flood of fear, His sovereign goodness sustains us and turns it all for our good.

Author John Piper's interpretive poem is heightened with the striking artwork of Christopher Koelle. The dramatic visuals provide an intense understanding of the very raw, very human pain of a man who endured the worst of human sufferings and same out still worshiping the God who controls the Leviathan, the dawn, the stars, and every aspect of human tragedy.
