WHAT READERS ARE SAYING...
"Suffering isn't something to avoid at all costs... it is actually something to embrace. WOW, now there's something to think about! Understandably we tend to cringe at even the thought of sorrow and suffering, but followers of Jesus Christ don't have to. By looking at the example of Job, Dr. Gregory Jones offers a fresh word of encouragement that we too can trust the Lord no matter what. I was blessed to interview Gregory and I invite you to take a few minutes to listen"

The chapter of Job in the Bible covers the unprecedented challenges of Job's life bestowed on him by Satan and allowed by Christ. The Book Of Job by Dr. Gregory V.

Dr. Jones is a prolific, gifted, and skillful writer who sanctioned God's spirit to guide his understanding, knowledge, and writing for presenting a unique and inspirational picture and view on the life of Job. His suffering physically, mentally, and spiritually gives us the desire to hold on and not give up! Yet, Job came through in flying colors, unscathed, and upright. From the reading of the Book of Job's Life, God's love, patience, and spirit will be increased and amplified in your life.

Gregory V. Jones, Jr. is a warrior for Christ. As you read through the pages of this book, it will become humbly clear what his vision for the children of God entails. You hold in your hands the gateway to living an upright life, as Job did, in spite of today's societal values. You are taught by Biblical references how to make decisions for your life based on principles taken from the Bible and not the principles of society. You are shown where to go and what to do when your faith is being tested. Job was severely tested and he stood on his faith. Gregory has been severely tested and will share that miraculous story with you in his debut book. There is no confusion in life choices when you base your decision on the word of God. Read Mr. Jones' words and be forever changed. His words plus the references from the Bible bring you to a higher level of understanding. The way he weaves Job's afflictions into today's turmoil is masterfully and reverently accomplished. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Jones book is much needed in this day & time. During these times of hardship, struggle, trials & economic decay, God shows us thru the life of Job, how we are to maintain, our integrity, our faith, and our beliefs. And knowing God is in full control. This book captures the essence of how we are, and how we are to not to conform to our situations or listening to the ridicule of a friend, however to hold on to God's promise. This book is sorely needed!!!!!!!!!!
