Names, places, and customs are carefully explained in depth in supplementary material. But most of all it's loads of fun for boys and girls.

What aspect of your character attracts God's anointing in your life? Joseph in the bible attracted God's anointing and favour by faith whilst he was in Egypt because he was blessed. Joseph was faced with a life- and -death situation when he clashed with evil forces in Egypt. He was faced with two choices. One was to succumb to sin and fall into the adversary's trap and delay God's plan; the other to resist and remain righteous and keep his integrity. In this book you will discover: ● The significance of the pit as the precursor to character building. ● Why Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt. ● A revelation of God's power and sovereignty. ● The outcome of Joseph's encounter with Portipher's wife. ● The reason why Joseph's ascension to power was fast track. ● The reason why Jacob and his entire household migrated and settled in Egypt

In this fully revised, second edition of Joseph, A Story of Divine Providence, Robert Longacre approaches the Joseph story as a paradigm for an approach incorporating the interests of the Old Testament scholar and critic with the interests of the contemporary textlinguist. His study seeks to explore several questions: How does one approach an ancient text? What does one hope to gain from its study? How do we orient ourselves in regard to this story? Does our orientation provide a key to our understanding of the story or does it simply hinder our approaching the story in an unbiased and objective matter? The book is comprised of four parts, the first three exploring the connection Longacre seeks to establish between textlinguistics and biblical studies. The fourth part is a constituent display of the entire Joseph pericope. This new edition of Longacre's landmark work incorporates a more user-friendly format, particularly noticeable in "Part 4: Constituent Display of Joseph." The book also includes new textlinguistic insights and updated references.
