In this remarkable rereading of the biblical book of Job -- often
discussed as an attempt to -justify the ways of God to man- -- J.
Gerald Janzen brings new light to Job's story, showing how God
invites Job to give up the traditional logic of reward-punish-ment
for a life-affirming strategy of risk-reward. From this
perspective, affirmation of life in the face of all its
vulnerabilities is the path to true participation in the mystery of
existence. / At the Scent of Water traces Job's journey from
prosperity, through calamity and bitter anguish, to an encounter
with God's presence in a rainstorm that renews the earth and his
own appetite for life. / Janzen includes a candid epilogue on his
own struggle with aggressive prostate cancer, which enabled him to
connect personally with Job and to find a fresh and illuminating
grace. At the Scent of Water will especially resonate with any
readers who have experi-enced grief or suffering.
