About this item

“Join me in exploring a truly outstanding person who did that hard work of trusting God—and his God used him quite literally to change his world.” —Bill Crowder

Bill Crowder brings Joseph’s story to life, helping you discover how God can use trials such as broken relationships and unexpected setbacks to grow your faith and draw you closer to Himself.

Young Joseph and his coat of many colors is one of the best-known stories in the Bible. And for good reason. This ancient drama of family inheritance, sibling rivalry, betrayal, cover-ups, enslavement, false accusations, prophetic dreams, and shocking reversals contains many relevant insights for relying on God amid difficulties.

This biblical character study provides historical and cultural context, relatable themes, and reflection questions, all with pastoral warmth from Our Daily Bread devotional author Bill Crowder. Whether read alone or in a group, this book is perfect for anyone who wants to know the Bible better—and knows that the Bible makes us better! 

Also available as an eBook from your favorite digital retailer.
