The account of Joseph, son of the Old Testament patriarch
Jacob, is compelling because of the enduring
themes of integrity, forgiveness, and faith that echo through
the dramatic highs and lows of Joseph's life. Betrayed by his
brothers, sold into slavery, falsely imprisoned, and then miraculously elevated to
a position of wealth and power over all the land of Egypt-Joseph knew what it
was to look deep into the darkest hour of the soul and still have hope. In doing
so, he preserved the life of the infant nation of Israel and left a legacy of righteousness
that resounds through three major world religions.
The series MONEY AT ITS BEST: MILLIONAIRES OF THE BIBLE examines the lives of key figures from biblical history. The books in this series draw on the Bible and other religious writings, as well as on legends, folktales, and the work of modern scholars, to show how each of the people profiled used his or her wealth or privileged position in order to make a difference in the lives of others.
