Beyond the Pit: The Story of Joseph

Of all the biblical characters to colour the pages of the Bible none has quite portrayed the lifestyle and personality of the sort of person who attracts the presence of God like Joseph did. Through adversity and injustice he remained resolute in his convictions and grounded in his faith. Loved by his father but despised by his brothers, betrayed, psychologically abused, physically assaulted, trafficked across borders, sold into servitude, unjustly incarcerated, neglected and forgotten by those he showed kindness to, his story resonates with a diverse audience irrespective of race, nationality, culture, gender or age. It is a story that evokes sympathy but ultimately fuels hope in the light that lies at the end of every dark tunnel for those who trust in God. Many know the story but not many have heard it told through the eyes of the protagonist. In this version of the immensely popular and extremely motivational account of the life of Joseph, we get the rare opportunity to experience events through his eyes and hear the gripping account relayed in his voice. Written in the first person, the reader is transported into a historically accurate setting, and introduced afresh to characters and situations that seem familiar but are presented in more depth.
