Joseph went from being an old man’s cherished son, to being sold into slavery, then made a prisoner, to becoming a powerful ruler in Egypt.Joseph is Jacob’s youngest and favourite son, and Jacob’s older sons are jealous. When Joseph has astonishing dreams of ruling over his family, his brothers hate him even more! They plot together to kill Joseph. But then change their minds and sell him to passing traders on their way to Egypt. Joseph is sold to the Egyptian, Potiphar, and serves in his household. He does well and is promoted, until he’s falsely accused of harming his master’s wife, and ends up in prison! Yet God has a plan, to use Joseph during a famine, to save the lives of the Egyptians and people from surrounding countries, and the lives of his own family. This fully illustrated book about Joseph’s difficult trials, and his triumphs, will bring his story alive in children’s minds. It includes Joseph’s family tree, and much of the text is directly from Scripture.
