Job Through New Eyes: A Son For Glory by Toby J. Sumpter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A wonderful book, that will make help you see Job in a whole new way. The main strength is that Toby takes the beginning and the end seriously and makes the dialogues function within those bookends. He ties the life of Job to Adam and Christ, as well as several other figures in Scripture. His view that God is helping Job mature as a son is great. This view helps explain a lot of actions by the Lord throughout the book, such as why he points Job out to Satan in the beginning and how Job can be blameless and yet still need to grow. I also really enjoyed Toby's writing style. I hope he has more books lined up.

"And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of the battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City."

Let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud on their beds, let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind the kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron. Psalm 149:5-8
