Book description
Does Christianity work in real life anymore? If so, how does one live
with integrity for a lifetime? An examination of Job 31 gives us a great
example of faith lived out in a crisis. Job shows resolve in his
commitment to Christ, resulting in a life of integrity we can follow.
The book of Job comes to life in the storm and Job's integrity survives
the ash heap! His adversity becomes his teacher, finally revealing Job
as the small servant of God he is, his comforters as the pretenders they
are, and Shaddai as the wise Redeemer who vindicates His glory. Garnett
Reid shares examples from the life of Job and shows what it means to
live out a life of integrity. He also gives great insight into the value
of a life of integrity brings to the individual. In a world frull of
lost integrity, this work shows us a vital foundation and encourages us
to build a life of integrity so we can survive the ash heap as well.
This book will compel the reader to claim the same ten promises Job did
in order to live in personal integrity, and Reid gives practical steps
to the reader to accomplish personal integrity. Garnett Reid has
