This Joseph

Description

A brilliant commentary on the life of Joseph. This Joseph is a touching and devotional look at one of the Bible’s most beloved characters.

The title This Joseph is based on Pharaoh’s question, “Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is” (Genesis 41:38)? He recognized that the words and wisdom of Joseph far exceeded all the sacred scribes and wise men of Egypt, and ascribed the source of that wisdom to God.

What sustained Joseph all through his history? It was a sense of the presence of the Lord with him. When others failed, when he was forsaken, misunderstood and wrongly accused, we read these beautiful words many times, The Lord was with Joseph.

The record of Joseph is also one of literary excellence, prophetic foreshadowing and devotional meditations- a veritable gem of information, inspiration and instruction. It is acknowledged as one of the best short stories in all of the world’s writing. Literature is often judged on emotion, suspense, plot, intrigue, drama, characters, morals and historical background. We are sure that all standards of excellence are found in the story of Joseph as recorded in the Bible, the supreme literary masterpiece of all.
