“Andy Davis has provided a treasure trove of truths for walking through suffering in this wearying world. Beautifully biblical, deeply emotional, gently pastoral, and refreshingly practical, this book won’t just teach you lessons from Job—it will lead you to life and joy in Jesus.”David Platt, McLean Bible Church“The book of Job is foundational for a biblical understanding of suffering and the sovereignty of God. Dr. Andy Davis not only models a thoughtful analysis of the text but also provides pastoral application through the lens of the gospel, especially the connection to the work and life of Jesus. It’s a wonderful resource on suffering and how to see the issue with a biblical perspective.”Mark Vroegop, President, The Gospel Coalition; author of Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament“Suffering is our constant companion in this fallen and broken world. Sometimes the pain is overwhelming and we are filled with despair about how to navigate it. Using the book of Job as his primary text, Andy Davis tackles suffering head-on. His treatment of this topic is superb: theologically rich and biblically faithful. Ultimately, Andy points us not so much to principles (as helpful as they can be) but to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is where our hope must be and where our healing is found. This is a book you will want to read and keep close by when you’re hurting. There is help it its pages.”Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary“Many people go to the book of Job hoping to find answers to their questions about suffering only to come away frustrated, as the book can seem to raise more questions than it provides answers. This is what makes Yet I Will Hope in Him so valuable. Andy Davis serves as an able guide, opening its riches of wisdom and insight to readers. This book goes beneath the surface of this ancient poetic account to uncover its message of the need for Christ to bear and make sense of suffering and to showcase the solid hope we have that Jesus has overcome (and will one day eradicate) suffering.”Nancy Guthrie, Author; Bible teacher“In Yet Will I Hope in Him, Dr. Andy Davis provides the church with a rich and practical theology of suffering anchored in gospel hope. With pastoral care, he addresses the tensions and fears that often surround affliction and draws wisely from the book of Job to encourage believers to endure hardship with steadfast hope in our trustworthy God.”Tony Merida, Founding Pastor, Imago Dei Church“Your hour will come—perhaps it already has. None of us in this present age escapes suffering. The book of Job was written to give us hope in the middle of the struggle. Andy Davis is an experienced traveler and faithful guide to help you not only walk through suffering with Job but even experience it with joy.”David Mathis, Senior Teacher, desiringGod.org; pastor, Cities Church, Saint Paul, MN; author of Habits of Grace“Andy Davis has provided a Scripture-soaked, Christ-centered, and realistic meditation on the great principle that in this life, we face great woes. In them, our Lord promises, ‘I will be with you,’ and Job is the Bible’s longest exploration of that theme. Davis offers sufferers an honest and theological account of suffering and the hope of endurance through Christ.”Daniel Doriani, Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Covenant Seminary; author of Work: Its Purpose, Dignity, and Transformation“Yet I Will Hope in Him is pastorally rich and exegetically rigorous. Davis guides readers through the book of Job, illuminating its theological depth and poetic beauty. This is an excellent resource for pastors and church members who desire a deeper exploration of suffering and the hope we have in Christ.”Andrew Spencer, Associate Editor, The Gospel Coalition; author of Hope for God's Creation
