I find the perspective of Job's wife fascinating. The religious aspect is a bit of a sticky issue, but the story sounds good. Thank you for a great review.

This is an interesting romantic fiction thriller highlighting a heart-warming Christian fiction story filled with faith, love, forgiveness, and growth. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.

In Job 2:9, his wife told him to stop holding on to his integrity and blame God for his afflictions. However, if reading from the start, God spared his life while Satan was the one who caused the suffering. Job's wife may have taken her words back when God intervened and doubled everything they lost. Nice review.

"The Legacy of Job's Wife" by Cynthia Koelker. An interesting book, talks about the wife of a very popular man in the scripture known as Job. Ix’ises was good in music and this made Job to fall in love with her. Telling Job to curse God and die was unexpected of her. This book is well written and understandable. Congrats on your #BOTD.

Books like this definitely pick my interest. Most of the time we just hear one side of the story and become judgemental and final about everything. Such books require an open and creative mind , also a lot of research to even come up with such content.

Although most of this book is fiction, it is a very interesting point of view. I believe that nowadays, the opinion of Job's wife would be taken much more into account than in Job's times.

I am not a Christian, so this book is not one that I would choose to read. However, great review. You show what I would expect from it.

Although the review sounds captivating, I will skip it as this isn't my style of reading and I don't have any insight of the Bible.

I've read this story myself and it's one book I'd love to read over and over again. Seeing the story of Job through the eyes of his wife, and feeling what she could have felt was indeed remarkable for me. Thanks for your review.

One striking thing about this book is that is biblical. I can't wait to get a copy of this book. Nice review.

The Bible can be a hard book to understand, it sounds like fiction. But normally when suffering strikes we never believe that it is going to end, especially when we finally get to the point where we are rejected by our loved ones it's tempting to change our tune and give up on our faith. The story is really interesting. Thank you for the review.

People forget that everything that happened to Job (except to his body) happened to her, too.
