In this book Crowder follows the life of the biblical Joseph. Beginning the conflict with his brothers the story ends after the reunion in Egypt.
Crowler suplements the biblical stories with songs, stories from his own and other peoples lives. All of this snippits fit the biblical story well. I enjoyed the deeper look into Joseph and other characters and was able to look at a few things from a new viewpoint.
After each chapter there are discussion questions you can think about yourself or discuss with your small group. In my oppinion this would be a great book to read with your small group.

I really enjoyed this study of Joseph by Bill Crowder. It takes you from young Joseph, arrogantly sharing his dreams with his brothers, to mature Joseph recognizing and wisely understanding the fulfillment by God of those dreams.
Ten chapters provide a great oversight into Joseph, his rise and fall and rise again in Egypt. The brothers actions and their growth. And finally reconciliation and redemption.
Bill Crowder uses modern day analogies to introduce each concept. And he ends each chapter with an old hymn that relates to Joseph’s story.
I really enjoyed learning more about one of my favorite characters in the Bible.
Thank you to #netgalley and #ourdailybreadpublishing for the advanced copy of #joseph.

Crowder's book JOSEPH offers a wonderful perspective on the biblical account of Joseph. It takes a deep-dive into the family dynamics that brought about Joseph's betrayal and, ultimately, placed him where God wanted him. It covers a range of topics from Joseph's character arc and how he grew/matured throughout the Genesis account, as well as the ways the Lord used those setbacks and betrayals to bring about good. Genesis 50:20 is one of my favorite Bible verses, so to see it as presented by Crowder was fascinating. This is a good book to work through alone or in a group setting, with some questions that may be better mulled over in quiet if some aren't comfortable sharing. (I may be presenting this book as a study option for my church's young adult group!) Overall, this is an impactful study, short and thought-provoking, and it's clear that Crowder put a lot of research and time into cultivating this resource. Highly recommended!
