One mistake some Christians make is to think that because a prophecy has gone out on their behalf concerning what God wants to do with them or because they have seen a vision or received a dream, it must surely come to pass no matter what they do. They think that prophecies, dreams and visions shouldn’t be appropriated; after all, they’ll come to pass with or without input from the recipient. In this book, you will discover the pathway to accomplishing God-given dreams as we learn from the life of Joseph. He sent a man before them, Even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: Whose feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in iron: Until the time that his word came: The word of the LORD tried him. The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. He made him Lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance: To bind his princes at his pleasure; And teach his senators wisdom. Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. Psalm 105:17-23 KJV
Joseph's Dream is a biographical novel based on the life of Joseph Trumpeldor. After losing his left arm in the Siege of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War, and being deported from the little kibbutz he retired to afterwards, Joseph Trumpeldor volunteers to lead a brigade of Jewish soldiers on the Turkish Front of World War I. Will the Allies force the Turks out of the Land of Israel before the Jews there suffer the fate of the Armenians? Will Joseph ever make his way back? Will his girlfriend be alive when he gets there?

Taking seriously the power of biblical texts to shape and address questions common to all humanity, these essays not only provide a window into how the biblical text was read at specific times and places and but also suggest fruitful ways to read it today.

The contributors are Harold Attridge, Wilhelm Gräb, Stephan Grätzel, Garrett Green, Christine Helmer, Bernd Janowski, Maren Niehoff, Joachim Ringleben, Marvin Sweeney, and Karen Torjesen.Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)

In this nine session LifeGuide® Bible Study, Paul Borthwick invites you to explore Joseph's story as a way toward discovering how God's dreams might be fulfilled in you—whether in success or adversity.
The complex and dramatic story of Joseph is the most sustained narrative in Genesis. Many call it a literary masterpiece and a story of great depth that can be read on many levels. In a lucid and engaging style, Alan T. Levenson brings the voices of Philo, Josephus, Midrash, and medieval commentators, as well as a wide range of modern scholars, into dialogue about this complex biblical figure. Levenson explores such questions as: Why did Joseph’s brothers hate him so? What is achieved by Joseph’s ups and downs on the path to extraordinary success? Why didn’t Joseph tell his father he was alive and ruling Egypt? What was Joseph like as a husband and father? Was Joseph just or cruel in testing his brothers’ characters? Levenson deftly shows how an unbroken chain of interpretive traditions, mainly literary but also artistic, have added to the depth of this fascinating and unique character.
TWO GREAT BOOKS IN ONE! JOSEPH It is not easy to put God first. Pressures come in life; criticisms to misunderstandings arise. Disillusion can very easily set in. To keep going for God is a more difficult task than slipping into mediocrity and ‘laidback’ Christian commitment. This book on the life of Joseph is aimed at proving that you can go on for God, no matter what age you are. Seventeen? See Joseph go on for God in spite of jealousy at home. Twenty-eight? See Joseph suffer in prison for moral purity. Thirty? Study Joseph as Prime Minister still going on for God. Forty-four? See Joseph save starving African countries. One hundred and ten? Listen to Joseph’s dying words that bring hope to distressed spirits to this day. You will be surprised to discover how relevant Joseph’s life is to the nitty-gritty of yours. You can learn and be inspired to go on for God just as Joseph did. RUTH This love story begins with tragedy, but then out of the womb of all tragedy there comes something beautiful, which, if the tragedy had never occurred, would never have been seen. Yet it is more than a love story between a desperately poor girl and a very wealthy landowner. It is a story of love for God, of love for His people and all that they believe. Facing loneliness, poverty, and alienation from the culture in which she was living, Ruth allowed God to have His way with her life. She accepted the rough with the smooth as the matchless Divine Potter slowly molded her into the person He wanted her to be.
The essays in this very timely volume, each in its own way, journey with Joseph. The discerning reader will enjoy the richness and variety of Joseph's legacy as seen through the eyes of the writers, who bear the title Josephite and who generously share their knowledge, experience, reflection and prayer of this saint, whom Julian Tenison Woods calls 'the Prince of God's House who was among the poorest of men and hidden with Mary and Jesus' (4 September, 1887). Sister Lauretta Baker rsj, Congregational Leader, Sisters of St. Joseph, Lochinvar Who better than the Josephites to give us an "inside" look at the character who gave early shape to Jesus' Jewish life and spirituality. When Mary MacKillop and Julian Woods were establishing a new religious group in Australia, why did they turn to Joseph as their identity-marker? Human aspirations, Gospel verses, and ancient legends all met to sow the seeds that would flourish in this soil, and be known with respect and gratitude as "the Joeys." Professor Mary Coloe, pbvm. Yarra Theological Union, University of Divinity, Melbourne. It is often said that 'actions speak louder than words. In the case of St Joseph this is so true. With no recorded utterances in the Scriptures, we have only to rely on his deeds. Journeying with Joseph is a timely publication not only for the Year of St Joseph, but one which allows us to delve more deeply into how we might draw inspiration from him to follow more closely the path of being a missionary Disciple, in a world deeply affected by COVID. The net is cast well and wide when you survey the topics contained in this book, and these show that while St Joseph may not have spoken any words, his deeds were, and are, profound. Patrick O'Regan DD, Archbishop of Adelaide, (Josephite Companion).
