Out of the Storm: Grappling with God in the Book of Job 
This is an extremely readable, clear and helpful study of Job and the topic of suffering. It is sympathetic and compassionate without compromising on the truth, and it is clear and in-depth. It is structured to be read alongside the text rather than instead of, which is very helpful. I was hugely blessed by the well-written truths contained within and I pray others will be too.
Another great "commentary" on the Book of Job. Ash did a masterful job of dissecting Job's story and bringing it to us for OUR application as well as dismantling some of the mysteries and previous unanswerable questions of Job's story. I got a lot of insight and application from this book.

Life and perspective changing read.A profoundly helpful study of the book of Job written by a godly man who has thoroughly studied and assimilated its message. Less about suffering, more about the greatness of God. Compulsory reading for all Christians?
A go-to, excellent discussion of how the book of Job is about God first and foremost. This is an excellent, accessible, short guide through the book.
This has been an excellent accompaniment to reading the book of Job. Critically, it encourages you to meditate in Job rather than read this book as a substitute. I found the point he made that if we look to the book of Job for a quick, simple answer to the question of suffering, we find a 42 chapter book, which at many points asks more questions than answers, but encourages us to see who God is and to worship him for being God. This book is a very useful guide for helping the reader see this

Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Out of the Storm: Grappling with God in the Book of Job
Why does a good God allow innocent suffering? Why does a just God act unfairly? Why does a sovereign God let disease and evil run rampant? These are not questions asked from the onlooker's armchair, nor from the academic's desk, but from the anguish of the sickbed and the frustration of the wheelchair: The problem of pain is considered with the heart as well as the head. In Out of the Storm: Grappling With God in the Book of Job, Christopher Ash leads us through the biblical story of Job as we wrestle with these questions today. He explores honestly the lonely and cruel nature of suffering and whether or not God can be found in the midst of it. He exposes the shortcomings of Job's friends, who deny the possibility of innocent suffering and are unaware of the roles that evil, the fall and the cross have to play. With compassion and clarity he takes the reader through Job's long debate with God towards a humbling-and hopeful-resolution. Christopher Ash is Principal of the Cornhill Training Course in London, a teaching ministry of the Proclamation Trust . He is married to Carolyn and they have four children.Mention Epithetical Books Out of the Storm: Grappling with God in the Book of Job
