Be Patient (Job): Waiting on God in Difficult Times (The BE Series Commentary)

Warren Wiersbe is one of my favorite Bible commentators because of his writing style. It's almost conversational, very easy and straightforward reading, and rich with thought and detail. More than 20 years ago I asked for (and received) Wiersbe's 2-volume BE series on the New Testament as a Christmas present, and I often read it for pleasure, not necessarily as part of a Bible study but just because it's so interesting and reads like a Bible story book. This book,

I will be getting more of his guides--very straight forward, conversational text.

I think I am rating this book with 4 stars because of the content of Job not the commentary. I have read many of Wiersbe's commentarys which have made the hardest books of the Bible understandable, but today I feel flat. Not satisfied. But again I believe the subject not the commentary is to blame.

As usual, Warren Wiersbe writes a book that helps with the understanding the book of Job. It is highly recommended.

I typically only thought of the book of Job as the book on suffering. Through Dr. Wiersbe's teaching, I understand this book is so much more. Teaches things from how we should relate to others by showing love, compassion and forgiveness all the way to God's unexplainable majesty and how He always writes the final chapter. Highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Job.

This book has helped me so much to grow even in my deep grief of losing my love. I have studied Job many times but appreciate the insight Warren Wiersbe brings to many times read passages. I look forward to meeting him someday.

This book "waiting on God in difficult times" by Warren Wiersbe is a great book explaning generally the Bible book of Job and the larger picture.It does not go verse by verse nor does he agree with me the about the leviathin.Still,I learned a lot and all in all a solid book about poor Job,his 3 friends,a wiser young friend,and Gods rebuttal.

Wiersbe provides insightful commentary on Job with good questions that allows the reader to apply the lessons of Job to their life. Reading this book along with Job made all the long speeches in Job more tolerable.

Thanks

The book is well narrated and distributed in distinct phases of job life. More important the parallel drawn between Jobs life and our own lives is only by God's blessing. I will rate this book as one of my best from Warren W Wiersbe series, offcourse together with Isaiah.

Job can be a hard book to read through during the long speeches/debates between job and his friends. I’m thankful for the insight of this book. It was helpful in understanding the deeper issues going on.

Dr. Wiersbe did masterful job expounding on the life of Job. The application points and questions to ponder made this study very relevant to the reader. I was humbled, challenged, and encouraged as a result of this study.

Love the book

Job answers the question about suffering; it's an expanded story illustrating the truth of Hebrews 12:11. Wiersbe's exposition is helpful in explaining where Job's friends were wrong, and even how Job-righteous before God as he was-was wrong, too.

Love all of Wiersbe's commentaries.....getting quite a collection!

This book helped me appreciate Job more. Opens truth and perspective that I couldn't hear alone. It was wonderful. Just what I needed.

valuable and excellent content

Wiersbe has good spiritual insight and is able to put deep truth in a very succinct way in this volume on Job. I found my thoughts stimulated by the insights given which only prodded me to further study and reflection. While not deep in word study, the simple explanation of what is happening throughout this commentary of Job and the application content was indeed appreciated and helpful.

After this book, now I can say I understand the book of Job and I understand God better as well. Churches should teach more about the book of Job, that way we can come to an understanding, through our suffering and our trials, that God always has a purpose and He always brings spiritual growth.

This commentary assists in understanding Job, the reason for his affliction, the three friends' comments and misunderstanding of Job, and, of course, God. It is difficult to know details of this ancient culture, but the author makes it more clear what the theme is and how to treat it.

As always an excellent commentary from a man whose heart is in His Word. Always easy to read, to comprehend and to learn from in order to share with others. I couldn't recommend it more highly for anyone studying the Book of Job for any purpose.

excellent book with great insights. Really helpful for preparing my study on Job

We are currently using this in our Adult Sunday School study, it is well written and when used in conjuction with the bible, is very thought provoking. I for one am enjoying it.

I enjoy and benefit greatly from all of Wiersbe’s “BE” books! This one didn’t disappoint.

This commentary made a difficult read more understandable. Using that understanding to apply God’s Word more effectively to my life.

I always like Wiersbe's comments, always true to the Bible, always learn something new.

This is one of the best commentaries I have found on the book of Job. It is written with such clarity that I finally found it a joy to really dive in and study Job!

This book has been very enlightening for me. It's a great study book along with the Bible. I would highly recommend this book to all who wants to understand the Book of Job.

Warren Wiersbe writes so the lay person can understand Scripture in a better way. This book and all of Wiersbe's B Series books should be in every person's library, and also in church libraries.

This is another great study by Warren Wiersby.

This book helped me understand the word in a simple way. It helped me question myseld in many areas. If pain exist in us , God has a plan for us of not to give up . Faith is the answer.

Loved this book. It outlines the book of Job so one can understand the meaning behind the story more deeply.

For a quick summation in teaching the highlights of the Book of Job, based in Traditional interpretation, one should include this excellent 'overview' of the text.

Another good book by Warren Wiersbe. A great book about the book of Job with insights I hadn't thought of before.

See my comments under the corresponding bible study. I love the insight and different interpretations offered. Good in depth study.

Clearly explains the difficult to understand book of Job and God's intent.

Great story. Inspirational.

Very insightful into the Book of Job! Helps too if you're, or have a friend, who is dealing with pain like cancer or an incurable disease and is asking the question: WHY GOD?!?!

Love these books. Brings out the book of the Bible to the reader.

Good read.

We are using this book in our Sunday School group at church. I think it is a wonderful resource. I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading other books in the BE series.

Mr. Wiersbe has great commentaries, i plan to get the entire collection before i am done.

Very helpful in studying the book of Job for another Bible study I was doing.

This is the companion book for the Job Bible Study Series by Wiersbe. I'm doing this study on Job with my 19 year old twins.

Excellent book describing in detail the patients of "Job". If you truly want to know how to hold on in difficult times, read "Be Patient" as this book describes in scriptures Job's patients after losing his family and property.

Wiersbe is excellent about giving information about the time of Job. Book looks new and ghreat shape. Service was great and arrived on time. Thanks so much,

Has helped me study for my bible study lesson. Also has given me different view to think about that I personally have not thought of at first.

Great resource book to go along with the Bible....Great references. I have about 10 of the series and will buy whatever it takes when studying the WORD!~

The best!

Take time to read this book. It is worth it. Job's life was difficult and the conversation with his friends can sometimes be confusing but Warren Wiersde does a great job of walking you through the conversations. You will be blessed in reading this book!

Great book on Job. I loved the study questions that were at the end of each chapter. Really makes you think!

Powerful message with easy readability!

Awesome Bible study !!!!

A helpful tool in understanding the Bible.

Warren Wiersbe has again written a concise, easy to understand, commentary on the book of Job included in his Be Series. I had previously read through the book of Job but had never fully realized the extent of Job's suffering and his incredible faith until I began studying the book of Job along with Dr. Wiersbe's book. I would recommend any of Warren Wiersbe's books. They are biblically sound and easy to use for study.

Arrived in good shape. Looking forward to reading.

This is a great commentary. I used it in conjunction with the study guide, but it can be used by itself too. Each chapter ends with some questions to ponder.

Wiersbe's comments always provide clarity to the Scriptures.

Great book!

Great Commentary.

very in depth companion guide to go along with the lesson book

A

Very easy to understand and would recommend to everyone. Gives a wonderfful insight on Job and his friends. Well worth it.

Wiersbe is always good!

None

Great

Great read!

Wiersbe is my favorite commentator. I have more than a dozen in his Be Series. I am never disappointed with his verse by verse commentary. Insightful, factual, biblical.
