Author Topic: The Job: Based on a True Story (I Mean, This is Bound to have Happened Somewhere) St.Celibart New Member Member # 8425 posted                       New Review! New Review! Follow this link: http://figuringoutthesmallstuff.com/2011/01/book-review-the-job-by-craig-davis/ It's by Joanne Bayles, who got "The Job" through another reviewer's giveaway. Speaking of which, various other recent giveaway winners are Casey Hensley, Marjorie Roy, Emily Campbell and Asriani Purnama. As other giveaways come up, I'll try to post them here.

But along with the Big Boss’ favor, he has also gained the notice of a bitter human resources manager, Luci Fernandez. Hateful of any success but her own, Luci manages to get him demoted to the mailroom! A rollicking comedy of errors follows as Joe B. tries to figure out what's happened to him, and attempts to get a meeting with the Big Boss. Joe B.'s great expectations have taken an all-over twist. His family is forced to make a series of hard adjustments, and he gets only lame comforts from a string of the worst friends anyone could have. Will he finally track down the cause of his frustrations? Or will he only learn a lesson about what it is to be the boss, and that what is apparent is often only a shadow of a greater ongoing good? The Job: Based on a True Story (I Mean, This is Bound to have Happened Somewhere) is a comic tragedy, a modern parable of ancient troubles and truths. This short novel is aimed at helping the reader understand suffering, using an updated story you no doubt will recognize. The Midwest Book Review says, "The Job is a book of corporate life with a heavy Christian influence. ... a humorous and enlightening read, highly recommended." You can get it in paperback directly from the publisher, StCelibart.com , at Amazon.com , or as an ebook through Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Smashwords.com . Learn more at our Facebook fan page .
