Today we're going to focus on Job, Satan, and the problem of suffering.

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown,

your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President
