During the days of the Pharaohs in Egypt, pagan customs ruled and reigned in the minds of everyone. It was during this time that God providentially brought a young man to Egypt, a man who was different. He possessed a rare quality. This man was Joseph, and he had integrity. Despite constant set-backs, he held onto his dreams and his faith in God. No one could sway him from his convictions. We are also living in a pagan culture, and it is high time for men of integrity to stand up for the Lord. We can learn invaluable lessons from the life of Joseph, the man who went from pauper to prime minister. From his dreams to his temptations to his reign, this book covers the exciting story of Joseph, and what we can gain from such a life.
