The Legacy of Job's Wife

Title: The Legacy of Job's Wife

Author: Cynthia Koelker

Publisher: MD Books USA

Genre: Historical Fiction/Christian Fiction

Synopsis

Meet the wife of Job, whom many a preacher has criticized for her words of despair, dismissing her as a mere footnote in their terrible tale of destruction.
