A Story We Believe We KnowThere are stories we think we know. Stories we’ve heard so many times, we stop asking questions. The book of Job is one of them. A man loses everything. Jehovah allows it. Faith endures. That’s the version most of us were given. What if that isn’t the whole story? What if some of what Job believed… wasn’t true? What if his greatest suffering wasn’t what he lost, but what he misunderstood about Jehovah? This is not a story about a man being tested. This is a story about a man who thought he knew Jehovah, and the moment he realized he didn’t. Step into the ashes.

The purpose of this book is to help us see what that loyalty and friendship looks like, how it develops. We’re intended to see the men and women we meet in the Bible as examples, good and bad. We find the loyalty and friendship of those around Jesus are imperfect, full of ups and downs. What we’ll try to do is look through the eyes of some of those who proved to be loyal, who stood by Jesus. There are eleven Jesus speaks to in the upper room that night, but there are more friends than these, and we’ll spend time with some of them too. What follows falls into the category of historical fiction.
