About the author
Oswald Chambers
267听books472听followersOswald Chambers was born to devout parents in Aberdeen, Scotland. At age 16, Oswald Chambers was baptized and became a member of Rye Lane Baptist Chapel. Even as a teenager, Chambers was noted for his deep spirituality, and he participated in the evangelization of poor occupants of local lodging houses. Oswald married Gertrude in May 1910, and on May 24, 1913, Gertrude gave birth to their only child, Kathleen. In 1915, a year after the outbreak of World War I, Chambers was accepted as a YMCA chaplain. He was assigned to Zeitoun, Cairo, Egypt, where he ministered to Australian and New Zealand troops, who later participated in the Battle of Gallipoli. Soon his wooden-framed "hut" was packed with hundreds of soldiers listening attentively to his messages. Confronted by a soldier who said, "I can't stand religious people," Chambers replied, "Neither can I." Chambers was stricken with appendicitis on October 17, 1917 but resisted going to a hospital on the grounds that the beds would be needed by men wounded in the long-expected Third Battle of Gaza. On October 29th, a surgeon performed an emergency appendectomy, but Chambers died November 15, 1917 from a hemorrhage of the lungs. He was buried in Cairo with full military honors. Gertrude, for the remainder of her life published books and articles for him edited from the notes she had taken in shorthand from his sermons. Most successful of the thirty books was, "My Utmost for His Highest", which has never been out of print and has been translated into 39 languages.

The timing of my reading this book is almost scary. I have never read or studied or heard a better explanation and exposition on the book of Job, and the words of wisdom and love are exactly what I need right now. Highly recommended reading for those of us who, like me, tend to be spiritual know-it-alls in the model of Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. Actually, highly recommended for anyone who wants to know God better.

"There is suffering before which you cannot say a word; you cannot preach 'the gospel of temperament;' all you can do is to remain dumb and leave room for God to come as he likes. The point for us is, 'Do I believe in God apart from my reasoning about Him?' Theology is a great thing, so is a man's creed; but God is greater than either and the next greater thing is my relationship to Him." page 34 - in the context of Job 5

The book exposes the fact that regardless of our place in the Christian walk, the experience of pain and suffering can give us new understanding of our God's majesty, goodness, and even plan for us. Indeed, few of us will ever suffer as Job did, so his character and understanding in the extremes of life can usher light to our own pain and the suffering of others. The Author's thoughtful commentary on the book of Job elucidates the positive effects pain can produce in our lives, if measured according to God's standard and not that of man's. He also touched an important area which has to do with how we should handle suffering and if we are in the position to encourage those in adversity, how our disposition should be.
LESSON LEARNT Many of us have no faith in God at all, but only faith in what God has done for us, and when these things are not apparent, we lose faith and say, "Why should this happen to me? Why should I be sick? Why should I experience financial lack? I'm putting aside this faith talk in God." Faith in God is a terrific venture in the dark; I have to believe that God is good in spite of all that contradicts it in my experience. I do admit that it is not easy to say that God is love when everything that happens is actually pointing to the contrary. Everyone's soul represents some kind of a battlefield. The point for each one is whether we will hang on, as Job did, and say "Though He slay me (things look tough), yet I will trust in God."
The book is worth having and studying.

This is a heavy read, and I'm not sure I agree 100% with the author's interpretation of Job, but he did have some amazing insights. That we must find the basis of life not in logic but in tragedy is something Chambers says many times which has a ring of truth about it. Because God is beyond our comprehension, sometimes we just have to trust even when everything goes wrong and He seems untrustworthy.

December 2, 2016Written in 1917, this book is still easy to read & understand. Oswald Chambers is an excellent bible teacher. This book deep dived the issue "Why do the righteous suffer?" as we walked through the book of Job. I appreciate how it explained the positive effects pain can produce & how it brought new understanding of God's awesome goodness, love and plan for us all. Pain & suffering is so hard for all of us, but being enlightened by truths explained here does help.

Chambers does an excellent job of demonstrating the truth that Christianity is about having a personal relationship with Christ. When ours creeds and theological systems fall flat in the face of the inevitable, inexplicable suffering of life, our faith rests in the relationship by which we know God.

I think the Body of Christ needs more books on the topic of suffering. It鈥檚 a subject that most of us are uncomfortable with 鈥� which leads us to trying to find, settle for and give quick and easy answers to ourselves and others that unfortunately don鈥檛 provide any long term help or growth. I love Oswald Chambers and his take on the book of Job is an in-depth journey on how to better navigate the perils of suffering while still holding onto hope and trust in God. This book had me stopping to under and pray often. Great read.

Fantastic study of the character of Job and the omniscience of God, written by one of the lions of the Christian faith. Chambers puts no pretty face on anything; he writes of the raw sorrow of Job, of the misplaced faith in creed of Job's friends, and the ultimate answer to man's suffering: a personal relationship with God and a belief that despite any circumstance, God is good and has a purpose for everything he allows us to experience.

I love how Oswald Chambers, more than any other Christian author, really makes me think. He brings things up in ways I've never thought about them. Even if I end up disagreeing with him on some things, the other stuff that he sheds light upon is SO GOOD. I love how he brought out that, no matter what happens and whether or not we understand it, we must stay true to Who God is, trusting that He is still good to His children. Overall, I found this to be a good book on Job that helped me.

Understand Job for the first time
Chambers makes the book of Job relevant and clear. His insights help me to see myself through Job鈥檚 comforters and discover my faith in Job鈥檚 sufferings. Job ceases to be dry literature and it becomes an illustration of the common condition of mankind.

Strange... Chambers' comments on Job are more or less rooted in the book, but also largely tackling issues of his day. Many comments were so focused on particulars of his mid/post war setting that I wasn't sure what he was talking about.

Could not recommend enough.

Previously titled "Baffled to Fight Better". One of the best books on Job I've read. Not a perfect book, but yet filled with the treasures of darkness that Isaiah speaks of. My Bible is now filled with notes in the margins.
