I am not a Christian, so I would normally avoid books like this, but the fact that this is described as a fictional telling of a bible story has made me prick my ears. I love the idea that it's reinventing a bible story from Job's wife IIx’ises point of view! Congratulations on the great review.

The Legacy of Job's Wife is a Christian fiction story where the author tries to understand her urge to ask Job to curse his God. The story of Job is quite interesting and I had never considered what it would be like from out his wife's point of view. Thanks for your review.

Thank you for your review. I always enjoy stories like this where authors get to use their imagination and blend what is known and what is not. It allows them to show off their narrative skills and story-telling. I am not a Christian but I have heard about Job and I think this should be an interesting novel to explore.

I’m really interested in reading this story. It comes from such a unique perspective and will help fresh out the Bible characters much more.

The Legacy of Job's Wife? I would like to know what drive the author to write a fictional story about Job's wife. This is because she's the least Biblical character I'd expect such a story on. Great review.

This sounds like an excellent book! Writing about Job's wife has to be interesting. Trying to put yourself in her place. I think any wife would have reacted as she did! Job is an example of the faith we should have, and his wife is an example of how most people would react to such tragedy. Thank you for the excellent review!

It wouldn't be bad to read a different perspective on a very crucial story. All I know about Job's wife is the bad-faith aspect of her asking Job to curse God. I think I need to read this book to gain more knowledge. Nice review; congratulations on BOTD.

This is an interesting premise for a book, highlighting Job's wife and her suffering. The first few pages I read (sample online) were powerful. Thank you for the great review and congratulations to the author on BOTD!

It's great to read this popular Bible story told from another point of view: Job's wife. I'd love to see how the author tackles this. I'll check this book out.

Job and I'xises. What a name to give to Job's wife! I will like to read this love story between Job and his wife. It sounds intriguing to know the author's fictional thoughts on both of them. Good review.

This story opened my eyes to what Job's wife probably felt as she watched her husband suffer. She has constantly been vilified. It's heartening to view her actions from another perspective. Thanks to the author, and thanks to you for the great review.

nice review, I would love to read this book to find out more about job's wife other than what I know from the Bible. Maybe, she may not be that evil after all. Congrats on BOTD.

Judging by the review, I do enjoy when an author finds a unique perspective such as this. The story of Job has always interested me - all that he lost and yet to still maintain his faith. I would be interested to see how the author explores Job's wife and in turn Job himself. Congrats on BOTD
