Book Sirens' Testimonial

“Even the Monsters is a well-written and insightful book about one of the most challenging books in the Bible. Daryl’s knowledge of this ancient poem’s structure and explanations make the poem much easier to understand. Daryl’s personal story moved me to tears at points and audaciously tackles an obstacle to many people’s faith: unjust suffering.”

Midwest Book Review's Testimonial

“Even the Monsters: Living with Grief, Loss, and Depression: A Journey Through the Book of Job offers a powerful spiritual journey through loss, and searches for understanding in the face of tragedy…. highly recommended for discussion groups about grief, Job, or Biblical studies in general. These audiences will find plenty of specific links and revelations that are perfect for encouraging further inspection, discussion, and enlightenment.”

Guy Hammond's Testimonial

“Over the years, I’m sure I’ve read the book of Job at least 30 to 40 times and, while certainly not an expert, considered myself to be well acquainted with the Biblical narrative. However, Daryl Potter showed me how much more there was to discover! Even the Monsters is a tremendous reserve of fresh insight and perspective, bringing Job’s story alive in ways I had never before experienced. What Daryl Potter has done is masterful.”

Marilyn Kriete's Testimonial

“Faced with overwhelming trials, Daryl Potter staked his faith on finding answers in the Book of Job. This remarkable book chronicles his years of study and suffering, and rewards the reader with plenty of hard-won insight, gut-level honesty, and in-depth Bible study. A compelling exploration of doubt, despair, faith and trust, Even the Monsters deserves a special place on every believer’s bookshelf.”

Kirkus Reviews' Testimonial

“Potter writes with unfailing clarity and confessional power—his interpretation of Job is profoundly informed by both rigorous study and thoughtful, personal meditation. The author doesn’t simply implore readers to lean on the Bible for moral counsel and encouragement—he furnishes an illustrative example of how this can be done. A stimulating reassessment of a key section of the Bible coupled with an affecting memoir.”
