GOD BUILT Bold Men of God Series: Joseph

Jim Sanders recounts the story of Joseph with authenticity. The story illustrates that bold and passionate men of God are not born that way but shaped by God through trying circumstances. Sanders deftly captures the spirit of jealousy that Joseph's brothers feel because of their father's favoritism toward their youngest brother. Sanders matches voice to mood in describing Joseph’s dreams in which his brothers bow down to him and the brothers’ outrage, which leads to the plot to kill him. With crisp diction, Sanders depicts the spiritual testing Joseph experiences, which reveal why God has allowed such circumstances in his life. Sanders’s effortless narration explains the author's belief that men like Joseph are created by God and not by their own experiences. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2010]
