"Why do bad things happen to good people" is a question that humans have been asking forever. And it's what the Book of Job wrestles with too.

The verses we read aloud were Job 2:11-13; 38:1-7; 42:1-6. (Read them online here.)
We divided into groups to examine other passages from Job. Open or download the handout chart which breaks down the book of Job and shows what passages each group read HERE.
