{"product_id":"9780802848291","title":"At the Scent of Water : The Ground of Hope in the Book of Job","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this remarkable rereading of the biblical book of Job -- often discussed as an attempt to -justify the ways of God to man- -- J. Gerald Janzen brings new light to Job's story, showing how God invites Job to give up the traditional logic of reward-punish-ment for a life-affirming strategy of risk-reward. From this perspective, affirmation of life in the face of all its vulnerabilities is the path to true participation in the mystery of existence. \/ At the Scent of Water traces Job's journey from prosperity, through calamity and bitter anguish, to an encounter with God's presence in a rainstorm that renews the earth and his own appetite for life. \/ Janzen includes a candid epilogue on his own struggle with aggressive prostate cancer, which enabled him to connect personally with Job and to find a fresh and illuminating grace. At the Scent of Water will especially resonate with any readers who have experi-enced grief or suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William B Eerdmans Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49110162997475,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780802848291-1.jpg?v=1788353190","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780802848291","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
