Into the book
If I resolutely embrace the adversity that has befallen me like fate, that adversity is no longer a tragedy that destroys my life, but rather a turning point that changes my life and becomes a creative force that guides me.
--- p.56
What ultimately determines our lives is not events, but our interpretation of them.
--- p.68
Nature gives life to humans.
God tells us that if any of His children are hiding under the covers or crying in the corner of their rooms in the face of life's suffering, He wants them to stop and go out in anger.
He tells us to look at the world He created and receive the strength to endure suffering.
In Genesis, God created everything and saw that it was good, and now he is reminding Job of that again.
--- p.121
Job also became free from everything by meeting God.
In particular, Job, by meeting God, who created the world of life and governs it, comes to realize His perfect and infinite love and gains the inner strength to live with that love.
--- p.127
When we realize God's presence through the created world, we gain the inner strength to live, even though the environment has not changed at all.
You will gain the inner strength and insight to live in the present while preserving joy.
--- p.136
We live forever in God's creation.
So how can we not enjoy the joys and wonders of life right here and now?

Publisher's Review
Let us also lift our heads like Job in the face of suffering.
What attitude do we take when faced with the pain that shakes our lives? A pain that no one can avoid and that we can never welcome. Aren't we simply bowing down, hoping it will pass like the wind that suddenly dies down?
When we actively embrace suffering, when we fully accept that our lives are filled with suffering, suffering is no longer suffering.
To realize that suffering enriches and deepens our lives, and to become creative suffering that can reach out to our neighbors, we must allow for active acceptance and a process of mourning.
We can bring our suffering to God by reciting the Psalms of Sorrow, or we can seek comfort from Our Lady, who had to witness the death of her Son.
In particular, God's instructions to Job, who constantly sought the reason for his suffering, to look back on the created world may seem strange and off-topic even to us, but by standing before the created world, Job experiences God's presence and love and is freed from everything.
It is an acknowledgment that pain is a mystery.
The great power of this book lies in the author's quiet voice, which offers comfort and strength, showing us the shortcut to freedom from suffering.
Rather than covering general reflections or theories on pain, this book is useful for those of us who face pain in our daily lives.
It is a truly grateful and warm book.
