The Book of Job
The first book of the Wisdom Books of the Old Testament, The Book of Job, follows God’s most faithful servant, Job, through a series of unfortunate events. God tests Job’s faith when he is told by Satan that Job is only faithful because God favors him. God then takes away all that he gave to Job; a family, a home, and riches. Job at first does not curse God, stating that he was brought into this world with nothing, and realized it all could be taken away. But when God then curses Job with sickness, he was then ready to curse God. It was Job’s friends who brought him through his despair, and in the end God gave back all he had taken from Job.
This is one of the more controversial texts of the KJV bible, as it suggests that, for no moral reason, Job’s faith was tested. However, this is also a tale of the importance of faith because had Job not cursed God, he would have proved Satan wrong.
Bible Study Tools
Every Christian believer looks to the Bible for guidance as the authority for leading a meaningful life on Earth. Thus, Bible study tools are considered essentials in every Christian’s foundation of faith. Bible study guides and Bible reference materials help children and adults alike to learn more about the Good Book. By teaching kids the right lessons, you are equipping them to be responsible adults in the future.
Bible study tools incorporate Bible teachings in a fun way so that children and teens can learn more without feeling bored with “churchy” stuff. This is a great way to impart the basic sense of right and wrong as well as to teach life lessons using creative methods. Start children on a journey of self-discovery in positive ways as early as possible. Guide them in the right path by making sure they are introduced to the Bible early in life.
