Job

About the Book of Job

In this book we read the story of a man called Job. Job was a rich man with a big family. But Satan destroyed everything that belonged to him. Satan killed all of Job's children and made Job very ill.
Job was a very good man. He did not understand why such bad things happened to him. He had three friends who tried to give him answers to his problems. But their words did not help Job to feel happier. Then another man tried to help. But Job did not think that he really understood the problem either.
At the end of the story, God speaks to Job. Then Job understands that he cannot know everything. Only God knows everything. Only God is completely powerful. But we, like Job, must trust God, even if bad things happen in our lives.
