Publisher's Synopsis
The story of Joseph in the Old Testament is one that has been dramatized many times by the entertainment industry, both on screen and on Broadway. His story is the grand introduction to the history of Israel as it relates to their bondage in Egypt. However, his story also serves as an example to Christians of God's faithfulness and our calling to fulfill God's purpose for us no matter what the circumstance.
This book covers the experiences of Joseph's eventful life: the dreams from God, being sold to merchants, the journey to Egypt, life as a slave, in the prison, his promotion by Pharaoh, and life as a leader.
Following the Biblical narrative carefully and with research into ancient Egypt of the time, I paint a picture of what Joseph would have experienced.
Everything included in this story has a foundation either from the Bible itself or from historical texts. The Bible account is stirring on its own, but here you will get more detail and new perspectives.
If you have always wanted to know what it would have been like for Joseph in the context of that time in Egypt, then this book is for you.
