Using parallels between the biblical story of Joseph and today's urban workers, \u003ci\u003eThe Triumphs of Joseph\u003c\/i\u003e offers an inspiring and informative investigation on the neighborhood healers of the inner city who exemplify the imagination, courage, and self-help qualities required to renew impoverished communities. Just as Joseph rose from slavery and prison to advise the pharaoh, author Robert Woodson believes that those working at the grassroots level provide the same support to the lives of drug addicts and ex-cons in the poorest neighborhoods across America. These \"modern-day Josephs... forge] an effective internal, spiritual response to the spiritual and moral atrophy of our civil society\" (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e) and push for a policy beyond racial and economic considerations towards a moral and spiritual revival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Woodson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1416567860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416567868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Robert Woodson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995679916287,"sku":"9781416567868","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6248e4d-02cd-41c2-9181-a01c133976ee.jpg?v=1683337204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-triumphs-of-joseph-robert-woodson-9781416567868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
