A few months ago, I completed all of the artwork for a new fully-illustrated version of John Piper’s poem JŌB. The 128-page hardcover book is now available.
Pick up a copy here. And check out the book’s website (by Portland Studios) here.
Poem by John Piper

From the publisher:
Job lost everything: his wealth, his health, and his ten children. All swept away in one satanic storm. Reduced to a heap of flesh, ashes, and tears—rebuked by friends and jeered by strangers—righteous Job wrestled over the purpose and presence of God in the midst of unbearable pain.
With moving illustrations by Christopher Koelle, John Piper unfolds the story of Job in beautiful, compassionate poetry and revels in God’s sovereign and surprisingly joyful purposes in allowing exquisite suffering in the lives of his saints. An uplifting book, especially for those experiencing great suffering and loss.
Here are a few artwork samples from the book:
