The book of Job is one of the oldest surviving pieces of writing in human history. It also deals with two of the biggest questions that humans have asked throughout history – what is God like, and why does he allow such suffering in the world? Allow Phil to take you on a journey through the book of Job to discover insights that have shaped the way that people have viewed God and viewed humanity for over 3,000 years.
God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore’s devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.

Reviews for Straight to the Heart of Job
“I enjoy reading Phil Moore’s books. He writes about Jesus and the Christian life with perception, wisdom and wit.” – Nicky Gumbel – Vicar, HTB London
“In taking us straight to the heart of the text, Phil Moore has served us magnificently. We so need to get into the Scriptures and let the Scriptures get into us. The fact that Phil writes so relevantly and with such submission to biblical revelation means that we are genuinely helped to be shaped by the Bible’s teaching.” – Terry Virgo
“Fresh. Solid. Simple. Really good stuff.” – R. T. Kendall
“Most commentaries are dull. These are alive. Most commentaries are for scholars. These are for you!” – Canon Michael Green
“These notes are amazingly good. Phil’s insights are striking, original, and fresh, going straight to the heart of the text and the reader! Substantial yet succinct, they bristle with amazing insights and life applications, compelling us to read more. Bible reading will become enriched and informed with such a scintillating guide. Teachers and preachers will find nuggets of pure gold here!” – Greg Haslam, Westminster Chapel, London, UK
“Want to understand the Bible better? Don’t have the time or energy to read complicated commentaries? The book you have in your hand could be the answer. Allow Phil Moore to explain and then apply God’s message to your life. Think of this book as the Bible’s message distilled for everyone.” – Adrian Warnock, Christian blogger
