I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are mine.

The story of Joseph but from a different perspective. The unfair advantage is for all of us that need strength through a battle. It bases it's studies and chapters on Joseph's life from childhood to his leadership role. The book aims to encourage omseld to embrace the beauty of difficulties that cab lead to an advantage. Inspiring and encouraging.

This is an excellent book. It takes a story that we've all heard for most of our Christian lives (the story of Joseph) and breaks it down even further into something we can all relate to - seasons we're familiar with, even if we've never been thrown into a hole or sold into slavery. In addition to breaking down the story, there's a really good balance of Joseph's story and other stories, both biblical and non-biblical, to help facilitate the flow of reading while adding a depth of meaning and exposure to the concepts.

There were a few places where the writing kind of outpaced the thinking a bit, such that the connections were not as strong. The chapter on being forgotten read like kind of a mess to me, as it shifted the definition or emphasis of forgottenness here and there. Every time I thought I latched on, it jumped somewhere else.

There are also some places where the author has put well-known phrases/encouragements/cliches back-to-back-to-back-to-back so that you read an entire paragraph or two of one-liners, which gets tedious and also buries the good news in them. The first one packs a punch, but by the third one, it's tiresome and you start to lose the author's voice because these are all things you've heard before not from him.

Overall, though, I liked this book a lot and will be recommending it to others.

Thank you to NetGalley and Nelson Books for this ARC.

The Unfair Advantage is a book about the many ways that Joseph was treated unfairly....from the pit to the prison to the palace. The book does an excellent job of describing the circumstances of Joseph's story and an even better job of describing his perseverance. In all 7 scenarios from Joseph's life it would have been completely acceptable for him to give up, quit, or question God...but he didn't. The author did a great job of making this point.

Although I do not agree with some of the author's religious beliefs, the Joseph part of the book was completely aligned with the scriptures.
