Mining For Wisdom: 28 Daily Readings from Job
by Dr. Derek Thomas
Summary
In this twenty-eight-day devotional study, Derek Thomas takes us through Job’s trials, and how he deals with them, pointing us to the main message of the book. It is about wisdom — not the wisdom of man, but the wisdom of God, and thus shows us how, despite any suffering God may call us to go through, we can live our lives to his glory.
“Dr Thomas himself has mined the great book of Job for many years. Here he uses its pages to shed light on dark experiences, cleanse the emotions, challenge the will and touch the heart. Mining for Wisdom is centred on God and full of God. Every page breathes his wisdom and presence. It is a spiritual classic and I cannot commend it too highly.”
