Job: A Comedy of Justice is a Locus Award winner and a finalist for the Hugo and Nebula Awards by Robert A. Heinlein, one of America's premier writers of speculative fiction.

From the dust jacket blurb:

"Something was really out to get him: GOD? SATAN? LOKI? Whoever - or whatever - obviously never intended to let Alex get back home to Kansas.

It all began with that firewalking gig in Polynesia. After negotiating the bed of hot coals with only a small blister, he suddenly found the world changed around him. Instead of being Alexander Hergensheimer, minister of a fundamentalist church, he was now supposed to be Alec Graham, carrying underwold money and in the middle of an affair with the charming stewardess, Margrethe - the only good thing about the whole business.

Then there was an impossible iceberg that struck the ship and dumped Alex and Margrethe naked into the sea, to be rescued by a Royal Mexican plane. Then they were hit by a double earthquake. From then on, as changed followed impossible change, things went from bad to worse.

To Alex, all the signs increasingly pointed to Armageddon and the Day of Judgment. And Margrethe wasn't even Christian . Somehow he had to bring her to a state of grace. Without her, Heaven would be no paradise to him.

Somewhere there had to be an answer to his problem and to the question of why he was being persecuted. And of course there was. But it was truly a hell of an answer."

Heinlein at his superlative best. A fascinating and thought-provoking novel - one to make you smile, to make you wonder, and to make you care!
