Synopsis

No family today is more dysfunctional than Joseph's. No one faces greated temptation than Potiphar's wife offered Joseph. No faith is challenged more severely than was Joseph's on death row. Yet Joseph stood firm, exemplifying what is possible when ordinary people maintain their connections with God. Like an epic novel filled with intrigue, tension, and torrential emotions, Joseph's triumphiant story touches us all. This third volume in Charles Swindoll's"Great Lives" series presents a fresh look at one of the most intriguing characters in the Old Testament and focuses on the virtue of forgiveness in the face of deceit and betrayal.

From AudioFile

Michael Kramer's melodious baritone beguiles the listener with the biblical account of Joseph. Kramer characterizes Joseph's brother's rage and jealousy, Joseph's imprisonment in Egypt, and his eventual rise from slavery to freedom and power. Kramer carefully depicts the emotions, the challenges, and the fears that grow into faith as Joseph follows God in spite of threatening circumstances. The depiction of Potiphar's wife's seduction of Joseph is exceptionally authentic. Kramer captures her rage when Joseph flees from her sexual advances, only to leave an incriminating scrap of his coat behind in her clenched fist. Joseph's story testifies to the power of human endurance and God's ability to take what man intends for evil and turn it into good. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
