God of My Fathers
God of My Fathers tells the story of the Bibles Old Testament Joseph in first person in his prayers to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and his father, Jacob. His adventures begin with his being sold by his brothers into slavery in Egypt. It goes through his being forgotten in prison, his rise to power, his struggle for forgiveness and reconciliation, and the settlement of his family in Egypt.
Joseph
Ninety-seven-year-old Jacob is a shepherd blessed with several wives and children, one of whom is Joseph, his son with Rachel. One day after Jacob is visited by a messenger from God, he decides to return home to Canaan after a twenty-year absence. Because the King of Cyprus and his soldiers are plundering towns and caravans along the Euphrates River, Jacob anticipates his journey will be dangerous. After he leaves his herd in capable hands and recruits trained soldiers to accompany him, Jacob and all his people set out on a new adventure. His son, Joseph, is just six years old. Not long after they begin their journey, Jacob has a skirmish with an angel of God who blesses him and changes his name to Israel. As Israel immerses himself in a new life, Joseph sits with the women and reluctantly studies. But as he matures and eventually learns that God is sending him to Egypt to save his family from famine, Joseph realizes just what he will have to sacrifice in order to fulfill God’s plan. Joseph, Son of Jacob shares the tale of a shepherd and his son as they loyally follow the Lord’s plan for their lives.
Joseph
The account of Joseph, son of the Old Testament patriarch Jacob, is compelling because of the enduring themes of integrity, forgiveness, and faith that echo through the dramatic highs and lows of Joseph's life. Betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, falsely imprisoned, and then miraculously elevated to a position of wealth and power over all the land of Egypt-Joseph knew what it was to look deep into the darkest hour of the soul and still have hope. In doing so, he preserved the life of the infant nation of Israel and left a legacy of righteousness that resounds through three major world religions.
Joseph and His Brothers
THE BOOK: As Germany dissolved into the nightmare of Nazism, Thomas Mann was at work on this epic recasting of the the great Bible story. Joseph, his brothers and his father Jacob, are at the prototypes of all humanity and their story is the story of life itself. Mann has taken one of the great simple chronicles of literature and filled it with psychological scope and range: its men and women are not remote figures in the Book of Genesis, but founders of states in a fresh, realisic world akin to our own .
