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

It moves toward that lesson with one of the most poignant stories in all of human literature.
