Jacob's Dozen One in Particular: A Study of Genesis 37-50 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662448713)

God's chosen family, Jacob's dozen, is dysfunctional and fractured. The odds of them being used to fulfill God's covenant promises to Abraham are not looking good! How will God solve this dilemma? Come with us on an amazing journey as God sovereignly and providentially places young Joseph in a foreign country. There, through an unbelievable series of events, he will be prepared and used to reconcile and reunite Jacob's broken family. In addition to reconciling and reuniting the family, God will isolate and preserve them in the cocoon of Egypt, assuring the future fulfillment of his promises to Abraham.

This may be the finest story to ever emerge from the ancient world! It is a story of family dysfunction, parental favoritism, blood-soaked clothes, a prostitute's veil, multiple wives, slavery, lust, false charges, and prison. This is a story with shocking twists and turns. We will see prophetic dreams, sterling character, great promotions, unimaginable wealth, a family reunion, forgiveness, and reconciliation. And God will use our hero to save a world that is starving in a global food crisis.

God's sovereign control will obviously direct every detail in this story! Yet every character will do exactly as he pleases. It is a great mystery how this can happen.

This magnificent story is for anyone who wants to witness God's great grace and mercy to Jacob, to Joseph, to the eleven brothers and their families, to Pharaoh, to the nation of Egypt, and to the people of the world.

You cannot make up this kind of story! It actually happened!
