We have been working through the first study of the Eye of the Storm Job series and have found it helpful with good questions and commentary. It helps us with the question of whether suffering is always due to sin.

My Bible Study group are currently working through this guide to Job, and finding it enlightening. It is helpful to have this rather cumbersome book broken down into 6 studies, though I have divided two of the studies so that altogether we will spend eight weeks on it. My group are used to preparing beforehand; I don't know how these studies would work with a group that didn't, as several of them contain a lot of reading. In fact for studies two and three I split the reading up between group members, even in preparation. This made the task less daunting. They are still looking at the questions, and reading the explanatory sections, which are helpful.

Our small group has found these studies unfold lessons from Job in a really logical and eye-opening way. This has caused me personally to review my previous thoughts on God's role in suffering. It has helped me think more Biblically and know how to better explain this difficult topic to others.
However, it takes a fair bit of work for the Bible study leader - to shorten the readings to fit the whole study within about 1 ¼ hrs - for attendees who have not done any preparation. `We did not ask for any preparation as that would put many off attending. A "shortened version" in the back would be really helpful going forward with all of your studies which appear better suited for serious students or for personal study.
