Disappointed by the author's assumptions. That Joseph revealed to his brothers that he was circumscribed as proof of identification.

This review is from: Joseph: Overcoming Obstacles Through Faithfulness (Men of Character.) (Paperback)

"Joseph" is another installation of the Men of Character series written by Dr. Gene Getz in the mid-late 1990s. The titles are just as relevant today as they were when published.

Joseph focuses on the amazing story of the boy who went from being the favorite of 12 sons to being sold into slavery, being tempted by his boss' wife, thrown into prison, and then all of a suddent, becoming 2nd in command of all Egypt.

Getz' writing style is easy to follow and flows freely and the book contains several excellent principles to ponder when going through similar trials. The book is more for devotional or spiritual growth purposes instead of a deep theological study.

Anyone who reads the book may find that some aspects of his/her life may be similar to the trials Joseph faced and will be encouraged to rely on God to see him/her through.

Read and enjoy. Highly recommended!
