Christians are to be a joyous people. So it should not be surprising to find humor in the Bible. Wendell Ford explores the use of humor in the New Testament writings attributed to Paul. Humor is not always easy to recognize because it can take many different forms. The use of humor in teaching doesn't take away from the seriousness or importance of the teaching-and it may even help make sense of an otherwise difficult passage. As you recognize the use of humor in the Bible, your Bible study time will become even more enjoyable. The author has also included an appendix on humor in the Bible in the form of an adult Bible class. If you think humor has no place in religion or in the Bible, you just may change your mind! Wendell Ford is a retired electrical engineer who has worked in missile guidance systems, computer speech, and satellite instrumentation. He has taught adult Bible classes since his college days and has designed curricula for adult Bible class programs. He was adjunct lecturer in Math and Physics at Pepperdine University for five years. His hobbies include running, woodworking, and model railroading.

For decades, the Book of Job has held universal appeal because it is often described as a book of integrity, loyalty, and patience. Begin reading and you'll discover that this man who lost everything is far from exercising these attributes. His thinking patterns are far from positive and he has a multitude of questions. To exacerbate the situation, even his three friends seem to be against him as they challenge the sin that must be in his life-this is why he has suffered so much loss.\nMaybe you feel like Job. Like Job, you might feel depressed, rejected, inadequate, and helpless in your situation or with others. Like Job, maybe the people in your life don't understand your thoughts, feelings, and situations and don't truly show empathy to you. Like Job, you have a plethora of questions and you need answers from God. Author Wendell Ford leads us on a journey that explores the human existence where life constantly asks "Why?" Ford explains that Job is an agent toward 
- a source of personal revelation; 
- a deep well that expounds on our trials and foibles; 
- building our understanding and strength. 
Job: The Power of Negative Thinking is for readers who often contemplate their existence in the world, why bad things always happen to them, or how they can find acceptance with others, and the author's goal is to help readers harness their negative thoughts to discover all the good things God has for them.
