Appreciating Joseph
Appreciating Joseph: A Story of Faith, Forgiveness, and God's Guiding Hand brings one of the Bible's most inspiring stories to life in an engaging and easy-to-understand retelling based on the biblical account. Follow Joseph from his early days in Canaan, through the betrayal of his brothers and the hardships of slavery and imprisonment, to his remarkable rise as a powerful leader in Egypt. Along the way, readers discover how Joseph's faith, integrity, patience, wisdom, and willingness to forgive prepared him for a purpose he could not yet see. Joseph's life reminds us that difficult circumstances do not mean that God has forgotten us. Even during Joseph's darkest days, God was preparing the way for blessings that would eventually reach not only Joseph, but his family and countless others.
Beautiful illustrations help bring the people, places, and events of Joseph's world to life. Following the story, a collection of word-search puzzles reinforces important names, places, events, and ideas from the book, adding an enjoyable learning experience for readers.
Appreciating Joseph offers meaningful lessons about:
- Faith that endures through trials
- Integrity when doing right is difficult
- Perseverance during discouragement
- Forgiveness instead of revenge
