CBA Marketplace review of Out of the Whirlwind:

Tabb's extraordinary study of God and human suffering deserves to become a classic. Many authors use Job's story as a springboard to discuss how people relate to God in personal suffering and tragedy. Many try to shine New Testament light on the book of Job to bring Christ's comfort and encouragement to those who suffer.

Tabb's approach to Job and suffering is unswervingly honest about the personal and theological struggles Christians face in times of great pain and tragedy, yet it remains faithful to the gospel message.  Chapters on understanding grace and admonitions on how to move forward while suffering as nothing short of amazing.

C.S. Lewis remarked that the issue of God and human suffering is the most difficult area of struggle for believers and non-believers.  Tabb's superb book ministers to both mind and soul.  It's easily accessible to lay Christians but also will challenge and encourage pastors and scholars.  Out of the Whirlwind is one of the best books of its kind to be published in many years.
