Monica Pareschi"Ragazze squattrinate"Muriel SparkAdelphiwww.adelphi.itChiudere in una residenza edoardiana che ha visto tempi migliori un gruppo di ragazze smaniose di tuffarsi nelle delizie e nelle trappole della vita adulta in una metropoli appena uscita dalla guerra, documentarne le infatuazioni, gli eccessi, le goffaggini, le piccole e grandi défaillance: parrebbero i solidi presupposti di una commedia brillante. È quanto promette, sulle prime, questo romanzo, che diventa tuttavia ben di più e ben altro nelle mani di una scrittrice che ha fatto della commistione di toni e del depistaggio il suo marchio di fabbrica. In una Londra metafisica e postbellica, segnata dalle bombe e dai razionamenti non meno che dai fremiti che si accompagnano alle prospettive di pace, le giovani donne del May of Teck, benemerita fondazione per lavoratrici sotto i trent'anni, si scambiano cioccolato e crema idratante, bollini della tessera annonaria e confidenze sugli amori in corso o solo fantasticati, e un unico vestito davvero elegante, mentre giungono gli echi delle bombe sganciate su Hiroshima e Nagasaki. Saranno questi, insieme ad altri indizi più vicini, reali e letterari, a suggerire la presenza di forze oscure in agguato e a farci presagire l'evento atroce e insondabile che segnerà la loro vita e quella di chi gravita intorno a loro. Un ticchettio minaccioso, come di una bomba pronta a esplodere, che risuona fin dalle prime pagine di un romanzo che è esso stesso un ordigno esplosivo raffinato e spiazzante.Muriel Spark (Edimburgo, 1918 – Firenze, 2006) è stata una delle voci più originali e taglienti della letteratura britannica del Novecento. Nata da padre ebreo e madre cristiana, dopo gli studi si trasferì per alcuni anni in Rhodesia, per poi tornare in Gran Bretagna durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, quando lavorò per i servizi segreti britannici. Nel dopoguerra si dedicò alla poesia e alla critica letteraria, diventando redattrice del Poetry Review; nel 1954 si convertì al cattolicesimo, passaggio che considerò decisivo per la propria vocazione di romanziera.Esordì nella narrativa con The Comforters (1957) e raggiunse la fama internazionale con The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1961, La ragazza di talento), da cui fu tratto anche un celebre film. Tra le altre opere principali: Memento Mori (1959), The Girls of Slender Means (1963), The Mandelbaum Gate (1965, premiato con il James Tait Black Memorial Prize), The Public Image (1968) e The Driver's Seat (1970). Il suo stile, ironico e spiazzante, unisce precisione formale e un gusto quasi crudele per il paradosso morale.Visse a lungo a New York e poi a Roma, dove nel 1968 conobbe l'artista Penelope Jardine: insieme si stabilirono infine in Toscana, a Civitella in Val di Chiana. Fu insignita di numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui l'Ingersoll Foundation T.S. Eliot Award (1992) e il David Cohen British Literature Prize (1997); nel 1993 fu nominata Dama Comandante dell'Impero Britannico.Monica Pareschi vive a Milano e da oltre vent'anni traduce autori di lingua inglese: tra gli altri Charlotte Brontë, Edith Wharton, Doris Lessing, Willa Cather, J.G.

Job 4-37 Part 1 - Job's friends speak

This week in our sermon, Pastor Brandon Bergvall focuses on the long conversations between Job and his three friends (Job 4-37). Although the friends genuinely wanted to comfort Job, they assumed his suffering must have been the result of hidden sin. Their belief was simple: God always blesses the righteous, always punishes the wicked, and therefore anyone suffering must deserve it. While parts of their theology were true -- God is sovereign, just, and sin does have consequences -- their conclusions were wrong because Job was innocent. Their faulty understanding of God caused them to add to Job's pain instead of comforting him. Pastor Brandon's sermon emphasizes that bad theology makes bad friends, warning that half-truths about God can be deeply damaging when applied without wisdom or compassion.    Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family. We sing songs to worship our Lord, we preach the Word of God from the Bible, and we love one another.   We would love to see you on a Sunday morning at 9:00 or 11:00 am at 3601 N. Lamesa Rd in Midland, Texas. 

Why is Job so alone? Job 2:11–13 prepares us for the opening part of public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Job's worst loneliness is not having gospel-speaking friends. The passage portrays a profound moment of human suffering and the inadequacy of worldly wisdom in the face of deep grief, as Job's friends arrive after a long journey to mourn and comfort him. Though they weep and tear their robes, their silence for seven days and nights reveals their inability to offer genuine comfort, not out of indifference but due to the depth of Job's anguish and their lack of gospel-centered truth. Their failure highlights the contrast between human attempts at consolation and the divine comfort found only in the gospel of Jesus Christ, Who Himself endured forsakenness to provide eternal solace. The passage calls believers to move beyond superficial sympathy and instead be filled with the transformative, Christ-centered comfort that can sustain others in any trial. Ultimately, Job's suffering becomes a shadow of Christ's own, underscoring that true comfort comes not from human wisdom but from the faithful character of God revealed in His Son.

Have you ever been told "you reap what you sow" in the middle of your suffering? Job's friends did the same — and made his anguish worse. From Job 3-27, see why their narrow retribution theology failed, and where true comfort is found: in Jesus, our sympathising High Priest. Come listen to Pastor Joseph Heng deliver his sermon based on these chapters.

By Lewis VanAusdle - When troubles came to Job he was a miserable comforter. In contrast our God is the "God of all comfort" who comforts us in our times of trouble. When trouble comes our way are we more like Job or more like God?

In the midst of intense suffering, have you ever wondered if God's ways are just?Round 2 of Job's story hits different. The polite advice is gone, and the accusations come out swinging. Eliphaz stops trying to help and starts trying to prove Job is guilty. What began as concern turns into condemnation and suddenly Job isn't just grieving his losses. He's defending his character in a courtroom he never asked to be in.And yet, in the wreckage of betrayal and broken theology, Job does something remarkable. He looks up. He declares that somewhere in heaven there is a witness who will vindicate him. An advocate and intercessory friend whose name he doesn't know yet. Spoiler: we do.What you'll learn:Round 2 shifts: Why Job's friends move from offering bad advice to outright accusation."Miserable comforters": What Job's Hebrew smackdown in Job 16:2 actually means and the surprisingly simple standard God holds us to when friends are suffering. The retribution principle exposed: How the friends' "sin = suffering, repent = restoration" formula collapses under the weight of a truly innocent man.Job's witness in heaven: The breathtaking moment Job intuits an advocate on high and how Romans 8 answers the question Job couldn't.Darkness and dawn: How Job's emotional whiplash between despair and flickers of hope mirrors the way humans often wrestle with suffering.Group Discussion Questions for Job 15–17Based on the retribution principle, Job's friends believed suffering always equals sin. Have you ever found yourself applying that same logic, even unconsciously,  to someone else's hard season or your own?Job's emotional state in Chapter 17 swings between "the grave awaits me" and "in the face of the darkness light is near"  sometimes in the same breath. When you're suffering, can you relate to this shifting perspective, or which of those two voices feels loudest?Job is winning the heavenly court case even though it looks like he is losing on earth. How does that reframe the way you think about seasons of suffering in your own life?This podcast episode is part of our ongoing Bible Book Club series, Season 18: The Book of Job.We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Welcome to Broken Road by Busayo Season 1 Episode 3Not everyone who speaks into your life brings comfort that truly heals. Some voices may sound supportive but leave you feeling more confused, judged, or discouraged.In this episode, Busayo talks about “miserable comforters” — the people and influences that may mean well but fail to provide the support you truly need.If you've ever felt misunderstood or drained after opening up, this conversation will help you recognize the kind of support you deserve.Listen, reflect, and learn to guard your space with wisdom.

Job 4-27 Wisdom requires the right application of Biblical truth, and you cannot accurately apply the Bible without considering the cross of Christ.

Send a textEver been “comforted” by someone who only made the pain sharper? We open Job 16 and step straight into that moment: three confident friends, a pile of correct-sounding doctrine, and a wounded man who refuses to accept a lie about his life. Eliphaz wraps accusation in pious language, turning prosperity into proof of wickedness and Job's losses into a verdict. We walk through why that tidy formula fails and how truth, in the wrong hands, can become a club.As we read Job's reply—“miserable comforters”—we explore what real care sounds like when someone is raw and searching. Silence is not weakness, but silence that lets falsehood harden is its own kind of harm. Job waits his turn, then speaks with resolve: he is battered, he feels the ache of God's silence, yet his mind and faith stay intact. That tension matters. It's the space where honest lament and stubborn trust meet, and it shows us how to resist spiritual clichés without growing bitter. Along the way, we name a common trap: consensus masquerading as clarity. Three voices agree and are still wrong. Agreement is not authority; wisdom demands context, patience, and humility.We also reframe humility itself. Soft tone is not the same as a humble heart, and loud words do not prove pride. Humility shows when we speak as if God is watching—careful with timing, careful with application, and careful to love before we lecture. Expect sharp insights on applying Scripture without wounding, practical guidance on comforting those in grief, and a bracing challenge to examine our own counsel. If you've ever wondered how to stand firm when friends misread your story, or how to offer help that actually heals, this conversation will serve you.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs better comfort, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—what does real comfort look like to you?Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send a textWhat if the kindest thing you can do is speak a hard truth with urgency? We open with that tension and follow it straight into the heart of Job 16, where friends wield doctrine like a club and call it comfort. Their logic is tidy—suffering equals guilt—but it leaves a faithful man bleeding. That same logic shows up today in prosperity teaching, where pain is treated as a faith defect and blessings are sold as proof of divine favor. We push back, not with vague sentiment, but with a clearer view of God's sovereignty, human frailty, and the kind of love that refuses to whisper when a soul needs rescue.Walking line by line through Job's protest, we explore why words can be technically true yet pastorally cruel. Job's friends know theology, but they misapply it and never ask the most basic questions: What happened? How can we help? Where is the comfort? From that failure rises a memorable guardrail—words without wisdom wound. We talk about how to correct without crushing, why zeal is not the same as discernment, and how to recognize the “hammer” mindset that turns every struggler into a nail. Real ministry brings presence, precision, and mercy; it aims to console as well as to correct.We also widen the lens: if you are in Christ, your trials come with limits and purpose. Like Job, you face affliction under God's hand, not outside it. Church history bears witness in the courage of martyrs, reminding us to suffer well, to endure while doing good, and to trust the God who permits what He also uses to strengthen us. By the end, we offer a practical path forward—fewer windy words, more listening; less presumption, more fruit; bold warnings delivered with steady compassion. If that vision resonates, subscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs comfort with clarity, and leave a review with your take: what makes correction truly compassionate?Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send a textSuffering tests our theology, but it also tests our love. We dive into Job with fresh eyes and discover how God's sovereignty becomes more than a doctrine when pain gets personal. What surprised us most wasn't a hidden verse or a clever argument—it was how much comfort depends on love, restraint, and the courage to see the person behind the problem.We start by naming a hard truth: inherited scripts can make us sound wise while keeping us far from a wounded friend. Job's companions knew the right phrases, but they never asked the right questions. Together we unpack the trap of assumptions, the difference between observing a situation and discerning a soul, and why the most spiritual move might be a simple, sincere “How are you holding up?” From there, we walk through Job 16 and the sting of empty counsel. Job calls out shallow speech and models the alternative: words that strengthen, calm, and steady a burdened heart.Along the way we connect Paul's “clanging cymbal” warning to the scene at Job's ash heap. Insight without love turns into noise. We get practical: how to build bonds before crisis, the small questions that matter in the middle of it, and why restraint is a holy habit that keeps us from fixing what we should first be holding. Truth doesn't vanish in the process; it learns to arrive at the right time, in the right tone, for the good of the person in front of us.We close with a story about a quiet act of kindness that preached louder than any sermon. That's the heartbeat of this conversation: turn doctrine into care, and let your words become a shelter. If this resonates, share it with a friend who could use thoughtful comfort today, and subscribe to hear more conversations that aim for the heart.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send a textWhat if the most radical thing you do this week is a small act of stubborn kindness? We open with a bold claim: ordinary reactions are easy, but the way of Jesus calls us to do the divine thing—blessing the harsh, checking in before the crisis, and choosing restraint when our pride aches to be right. Through raw admissions of cowardice and unloving heat, we map a path from reflex to response, from winning the argument to guarding the soul, and from anxiety to courage grounded in God's providence.Our conversation turns to the deep comfort of Romans 8:28 and the story of Job. Trials are not random; they are permitted and bounded by a God who weaves purpose through pain. We share a midnight phone call with a friend betrayed by adultery and how being still can become the strongest action, making room for grace to settle the dust and for hope to speak. Along the way, we tackle a thorny question—can an unbeliever have the Holy Spirit?—and urge newer believers to anchor in Scripture, prayer, and wise community before chasing debates that only unsettle the heart.From managing sorrow supernaturally to taming the tongue, we keep circling back to fruit. Kindness, gentleness, and self-control are not moods; they are evidence. Draft the angry paragraph, then delete it. Make that weekly call before someone falls through the cracks. Ask not only what Jesus would do, but what He is doing in you right now. And when the choice appears between being served and serving, follow the suffering Servant who dignifies our hardest moments with His presence and power.If this resonated, subscribe and share it with someone who needs courage today.

Send us a textGrief makes most of us talk too much. We walk through Job's story to face a hard truth: sincere friends can become miserable comforters when they trade presence for explanations and mistake appearance for reality. Our aim is not to shame anyone who's tried and stumbled, but to rebuild the instincts that actually help the hurting—quiet presence, seasonable words, and practical service.We start with the moment Job's friends get it right: they show up, sit low, and weep. Then we trace the slide into accusation and see what drives it—immature theology, anxious hearts, and sometimes hidden ambition. If you believe God only rules the parts of life that look good to you, you'll try to force tidy causes onto messy pain. But if you trust that God's sovereign motives run deeper than what you can see, you'll gain patience, humility, and the courage to say less and love more. That shift changes everything about how we comfort. Instead of “Let me know if you need anything,” we bring a meal, mow the lawn, wash the car, pay a bill, or simply stay and hold a hand.Along the way we name the subtle temptations: using someone's crisis to elevate ourselves, cloaking judgment as concern, and wielding doctrine without mercy. We contrast that with a better way—reading the room, rehearsing our words in the heart, asking why we need to speak, and acting on what we already know the person needs. Job knew God; his friends did not. That gap is the difference between counsel that heals and counsel that harms.If you've ever wondered what to do for a suffering friend, this conversation will give you a compass and a few concrete steps to take today.

Send us a textA weekend of rich fellowship set the stage for a hard, honest walk through Job's story, where comfort meets mystery and faith meets fire. We pick up in Job 2:11–13 and slow down on three verses that many skip: the moment his friends hear, make a plan, show up, weep, and sit with him seven days in silence. That image recalibrates our instincts about care. Presence comes before propositions. Tears before theories. Silence before speeches.From there we widen the lens to the heavenly council most readers overlook. God, not Satan, brings up Job's name. That single fact upends the tidy equation that suffering always signals hidden sin. The conversation challenges our modern reflex to control outcomes and label causes. Job's wife, his friends, and even Satan stumble over the same stone: a thin grasp of God's sovereignty. Job stands apart by receiving both good and evil from God without charging him with wrong. That is not resignation; it is worship born of trust.Together with the panel, we trace how good theology can go wrong in practice. Job's friends will say many true things, but they will misapply them. The lesson for us is sharp and practical: what we believe about God shapes how we treat the hurting. We talk about showing up, letting the grieving speak first, resisting the urge to fix, and using fewer, wiser words. We also name the real front line of spiritual warfare: not online debates, but faithful endurance under trial, refusing to accuse God and learning to vindicate his goodness when the reasons remain hidden.If this conversation helped you rethink comfort, sovereignty, and compassion, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Send us a textThe ash on Job's head and the thorn on Christ's brow seem worlds apart—until you sit with the sorrow long enough to hear the echoes. We took Job 2:12, the image of friends who no longer recognize the man they love, and followed the thread through Isaiah's marred Servant, the garden tomb where Jesus wasn't recognized at first, and all the way back to the first promise in Genesis 3:15. What looks like defeat—a bruised heel, a broken body, seven days of silence—becomes a doorway into victory when we see how Scripture binds its own wounds with hope.We talk about reading the Bible with precision and courage, honoring the real meaning of torn garments and a rent veil, while still letting the patterns teach us. Job remains a type, not the Savior, yet his innocent suffering and steadfast humility help us recognize the form of Christ's path. The incarnation reframes recognition itself: the Son leaves unapproachable light, takes on flesh, and is missed by many who knew the prophecies best. Job, once honored and whole, sits in dust unnoticed by his closest friends. The descent is not the end; it is the shape of redemption.From there, we unpack Genesis 3:15 with fresh clarity. A bruise is temporary, a crushed head is decisive. The cross exposes the serpent's limits; the resurrection makes the verdict public. We also look at the subtle sovereignty in places like Esther, training our eyes to find Christ across genres and centuries. Finally, we linger over seven days of silence as a complete pause that teaches us to wait before we speak, to sit low before God, and to let grief become a teacher rather than a test. If you're ready to see Christ in the places you least expect, press play, share this episode with a friend who loves digging into Scripture, and leave a review to help others find the conversation.Catch On Fire PodcastsThis channel does a deep dive into the scriptures so as to teach what it means to be...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat if the kindest thing you can say is nothing at all? We dive into Job's seven days of silence and discover how presence, patience, and humility often outlove even our best arguments. Instead of rushing to fix pain or interpret God's ways, we sit on the ground with those who grieve, let our thoughts marinate, and learn to listen to understand rather than to reply.Our conversation traces the arc of Job's friends—from early tenderness to hard-edged certainty—and why good intentions can sour into condescension when we answer questions no one asked. We share a powerful testimony of a daughter who, at fourteen, simply stayed with her shattered mother after tragic loss. That quiet vigil became a lifeline, proof that sacred restraint protects hearts better than hurried counsel. Along the way, we talk about sovereignty and the “sacred origin” of suffering, not to minimize hurt but to approach it with reverence, as holy ground where God is near even when explanations are not.You'll hear practical ways to comfort without wounding: show up, wait, hold space, and keep your theology from outrunning your love. We sing, we pray, and we remember that true ecclesia can be rough, raw, and profoundly beautiful—ordinary voices, honest tears, and a shared resolve to be still and know. If you've ever wondered how to help a friend in deep sorrow, or how to hold faith when the storm gathers, this conversation offers a quieter, stronger way.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs gentle comfort, and leave a review to help others find it.

The coming destruction of Nineveh is full of woe for Assyria as a consequence of their idolatry and sin. The LORD is against them and will leave them with nothing but shame because they have rejected Him as their comforter. As the Egyptian city of Thebes was once powerless before Assyria, so Nineveh will now be powerless before the LORD, as will anyone who rejects the gift of faith in Christ. Though the kings of Assyria could not keep the people of Nineveh safe, the LORD as the Good Shepherd will gather His people into His holy Church.  Rev. Jeremy Swem, pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church and School in Grand Rapids, MI, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Nahum 3:1-19.  To learn more about Our Savior, visit oursavior-gr.org. “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

Message by Matt LaMaster

If God is really in control, why do bad things happen to Godly people? How can an Almighty God who is good, allow so much suffering in the lives of those He loves? Why does it often feel like evil is winning, darkness is prevailing, and God isn't answering our desperate prayers for rescue. What could we possibly learn from all this? This is a Study of God's Sovereignty, People's Suffering, and the Salvation of the Redeemed.

God never wastes anything—He often calls us to use our pain to minister to others.

How do you bear suffering? How do you get through the inevitable suffering that will come to you? The answer to that is comfort. In the book of Job, Job has three friends who show up and do an absolutely terrible job of comforting. Yet, even by looking at their terrible comfort, we're going to learn something about the sources of comfort. In this passage, let's take a look at 1) the bad comfort, 2) the better comfort, and 3) the ultimate comfort. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 13, 2008. Series: Job - A Path Through Suffering. Scripture: Job 5:1-7; 6:1-10. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
