This is a MUST LISTEN! Memorizing the book of Job may sound hard - and it is - but Cambridge PhD candidate Ellie Weiner decided to take on the task following her dissertation. Here's the thing: she memorized the book not in English, but in the original Hebrew!
Ellie shares how she initially felt reluctant and intimidated by the challenge but eventually uncovered deep insights into Job's literary structure and the significance of the divine voice. They discuss the memorization process, its spiritual effects, and the practical challenges she overcame. Ellie's reflections give a fresh and profound perspective on Job, changing it from a daunting text to a source of joy and wisdom.
