Book of Job

This book is about Job's life. God and Satan are having an argument about if Job really loves God or not. God is saying that no matter what he does, Job will always like him and love him. However, Satan is saying that if he hurts him in anyway consecutively then he will not like God anymore. God decides that now he is going to test him. They hurt him only because they are in an argument. At the beginning of this book, Job has many animals and that is like Noah's Ark with all of the animals he takes with him on the ark. This book is also like Isaac and Abraham because God makes them each lose a big part of who they are. Abraham almost had to give up Isaac and Job found out that God set his house on fire with all of his children in it for them to die. Meanwhile Job had done nothing wrong. The book of Job is different from the other stories because he did this out of the blue and for no reason. In the other books, they are still not right but they usually do something to upset God in the first place. This is an usual book from this time because this is purely God being mean for no reason. In all of the other books he has a bad reason to hurt the people but this is the worst he had done just because he got in an argument with Satan. Also he just wanted to prove he was write, about how Job would always love him. After the first part of the story it seems that Satan was right because Job is cursing the day he was born. Job is very mad at God right now.
