Looking for recommendations for prepping for small group study. Thanks. (Anticipating the question about my library: I used to be Gold, but I'm now Bronze or Wood or something.);-)
Would be my primary recommendation, but
is a very accessible one too and aimed at group discussion.

First, welcome! [:)]
(Anticipating the question about my library: I used to be Gold, but I'm now Bronze or Wood or something.)
Good anticipation, but questionable execution. [:P]
Stating that you "had Gold" but now have "Bronze" isn't very informative... but that may or may not matter. Most of us can't remember what came in which packages. It isn't informative, though, because we don't know WHICH "gold" you had. Also, unless you sold it or returned it, you still have it!
Your statement could mean: "I had L7 Gold, but returned it for L7 Bronze." It could also mean "I had L4 Gold, and then later added L6 bronze" (or any number of other variations.
Recommendation? Others will be better suited to chime in. I don't own it, but I like the "for everyone" series and would probably start evaluating this volume: https://www.logos.com/product/52268/job-for-everyone
Good call Alabama I would play Goldingay into #2 above Wiersbe.
Great suggestion: Be Patient
If you want an expository type commentary (sermon collection) Ray Stedman's book Let God be God. Unfortunately, not available in Logos. A 250 page trade paperback.
Job The Suffering Saint: https://www.logos.com/product/17142/job-the-suffering-saint
by John G. Butler
Very accessible like the others mentioned 👍

This is not a verse by verse commentary. In fact, it's a bit unusual, being written by a Mormon trained as a literary critic and now employed as provost at a Catholic University. But I know scholars who like it, and a non-scholar who was doing end-of-life care for her daughter's former lover, who had been cut off by her parents and found it terribly useful.
In other words, it hits both the academic *and* pastoral/lay angles. Re-reading Job: Understanding the World's Greatest Poem, by Michael Austin.
Not available in Logos.
"How to Read Job" by John Walton, but it isn't in Logos yet.

Reminds me of Dialogue in despair;: Pastoral commentary on the Book of Job by Hulme, William Edward which was a great book but also not in Logos ,just double checked as I thought it could have been part of classic commentaries on job..
