Title: Honest and thought provoking!
Product review: I have read several books about suffering, from authors such as C.S. Lewis and Edith Schaeffer, but none offer the simplicity and insight of S. Joshua Swamidass's elegant book, "How Deep is Your Dungeon?". Swamidass has taken the ancient Bible story of Job and created a very plausible backdrop of dialog between the main characters of the Biblical story. In so doing, the reader is drawn not only into the story of Job's suffering and revelation, but he/she is gently enticed to take an honest look at his/her own situation and ask similar questions: Why is God allowing me to suffer? Is there value to my pain? Can anything of worth or dignity arise out of my own circumstances? Anyone seeking answers to these questions will come away from this book with a deeper understanding and appreciation of God's loving nature and purpose for the difficulties each one of us faces.
