Job
This book addresses the question, Why do God’s people suffer?
Job was a godly man who faced great tragedy, Job never allowed his tragedies to cause him to doubt God’s love and care for him. He refused to let go of the greatest gift to all mankind – that there is a loving God who wants a relationship with His people and who promises them a eternal home full of love, peace, and wholeness.
God is here…He cares… and He loves us… always remember this and turn your tragedies into triumphs.

Ecclesiastes
King Soloman, looking back on his life, having sowed seeds of idolatry, selfishness, and discontent in his family, friendships, and business relationships, has learned the hard way that life apart from God makes no sense.
He seeks to spare readers the bitterness of learning through their own experience that life is meaningless apart from God.
