About this audiobook

Joseph is the pampered favorite son of the patriarch Jacob. His older brothers, deeply resentful of his status in the family, take advantage of the chance to get rid of him, selling him to slave traders and deceiving their father about his fate. It seems like their troubles are over. But for Joseph and older brother Judah, they are just beginning.

While Joseph is accused of rape and imprisoned, Judah attempts to flee the memory of his complicity in the betrayal of his younger brother. After decades apart, the brothers will come face-to-face in a stunning role reversal that sees Joseph in a position of great power while Judah begs for mercy. Will forgiveness or vengeance win the day?

Bestselling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith brings her considerable research and imaginative skills to bear in this vivid retelling of one of the most popular stories found in Scripture--a story of jealousy, betrayal, and a reconciliation that only God could bring about.

I have read quite a few Biblical fiction books lately and find that I really enjoy them. I keep thinking how difficult it would be to write a book of this type. Lots of research to be sure of details would definitely be necessary. I love how the people come to life in this book and how easy it makes it to visualize what is happening as the book progresses. This is an amazing book. I enjoyed it very much and the author truly brings the characters to life, sharing their feelings, both good or not so good ones. I found that as I read this book the characters seemed easier to understand in a very human way. Joseph being the favored son, suffered at the hands of his brothers and it is so good to know that all of this had a purpose with God. It was good to see that he was faithful throughout and we see how God may be silent for a while but his purposes are always seen as in this story of Joseph. I received a copy of this book from Revell Publishing and was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
