Product Description

No family today is more dysfunctional than Joseph's. No one faces greated temptation than Potiphar's wife offered Joseph. No faith is challenged more severely than was Joseph's on death row. Yet Joseph stood firm, exemplifying what is possible when ordinary people maintain their connections with God. Like an epic novel filled with intrigue, tension, and torrential emotions, Joseph's triumphiant story touches us all. This third volume in Charles Swindoll's"Great Lives" series presents a fresh look at one of the most intriguing characters in the Old Testament and focuses on the virtue of forgiveness in the face of deceit and betrayal.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE COMPLETE and UNFORGETABLE story of Joseph's faith., July 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Joseph Great Lives Series: Volume 3 (Hardcover)

Never have I read with such diligence a story with such meaning, character and direction as: "Joseph: A Man of Absolute Integrity." From the first chapter to the conclusion, Joseph's story, as it is recounted and explained by Charles Swindoll, provides twentieth century explanation, definition and direction of historical records and writings for the reader. You will not want to put it down until your finished reading it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW ! A life changing read !, June 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Joseph Great Lives Series: Volume 3 (Hardcover)

Mr. Swindoll has done it again! Just like in his books, "David" and "Esther", he has taken the life of Joseph and made it so relevant to the trials and triumphs we face in 1999. Everyone who wants to see what the power of God can do in a life should read this book. Thank you Mr. Swindoll, your words have made a difference in my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars "One of the two best on Joseph!", April 25, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Joseph Great Lives Series: Volume 3 (Hardcover)

Although my favorite Joseph book is 'With Joseph in the University of Adversity: the Mizraim Principles', by Dr. Parks, this one is a close second! If you want a pastor's heart in the telling of the story--this one is best! If you want sound principles for everyday life that you or a graduate can use, and really well-organized--go with Parks (if you can get your hands on a copy!). Swindoll does this as part of a series, and it's excellent! These are the best two Joseph books around.
