Summary: Modern take
Comment: Macleish's modern rendition of the Book of Job does an adequate job of converting the serious tale to a modern almost circus like story. Although sardonic at times, he keeps the main focus intact: WHY DO THE RIGHTEOUS SUFFER?
Rating: 4
Summary: JB and Job
Comment: This play in verse is a modern take on one of the timeless questions of suffering during our lives.In this instance,JB loses his wealth, health and family and during the ensuing discussions with his "friends", it beomes evident that the story is not about suffering, but about faith.Very powerful,but short, descriptive scenes and dialogue.
Rating: 4
Summary: Ecouraging book
Comment: This is a play based on the book of Job. It takes you through his struggle and faithfulness to God. After having a lot of land, good cattle and sheep, and a happy family, he is tested. Satan says he will curse God to his face if he doesn't have wealth, a family, or health. Satan is proved wrong. Job stays faithful to the Lord and in the end is rewarded with more than he ever started off with.
I enjoyed this book. It is a accurate play in terms of the Bible, although it is not quoted, it helps you too understand the story of Job and it helps you understand what it means to be faithful to God in good times and also in bad times, for he is always there. I recommend it for anyone dealing with any problems or anyone who liked the Book of Job.
