If God Will Just Listen to Me | Tom J. Nettles
Job’s friends, in Job’s opinion, provide nothing that can help him in his struggle to find the purpose of God and see the face of God in this situation. They are worthless.
It is Very Difficult to Discuss a Matter with God | Tom J. Nettles
No skeptic has ever entered such wrenching questions about God as did Job. No investigation of the problem of pain has ever been approached from a more existentially relevant position.

Sabbath Typology and Eschatological Rest | Jon English Lee
The Sabbath certainly looked forward to the coming rest found in Christ alone; but the type also is a foretaste of the future rest to come.
Paul and the Sabbath | Jon English Lee
