{"product_id":"2940156899593","title":"Job Grieved: Devotionals In the Book of Job During A Time of Loss","description":"The Bible is largely silent on the topic of grief, which surprises most people; contrary to popular belief, the Bible never says things will be okay--that the pastures greener on the other side. Further, the Bible never says God won't give us anything we can't handle. That's a proverb man made up. When it seems hopeless there's a reason: this might be a trial we cannot handle. It's natural to feel bleak about the future because the future is one thing God never promises will be better--better on Earth, at least. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bible is, of course, full of people undergoing hardship; but there's never a formula for getting through those hardships. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Book of Job did something thousands of years ago that broke the mold of grief: it said bad things don't happen because you did something bad. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Book of Job was radical in that it took out the logic of loss--it said don't look for the logical argument for why bad things happen; look to the healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you are seeking the \"why\" you will not find the answers in Job; you will not find it anywhere in the Bible. But if you want to heal your soul, then there's a powerful message reading how Job deals with grief.","brand":"SD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184154165488,"sku":"2940156899593","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940156899593_p0.jpg?v=1764089140","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940156899593","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
