I have never claimed to be a fan of Christian literature in any form, and most likely never will. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised at the incredible depth and spirit of this book. Joseph is not only incredibly well-written in general (and truly astounding when compared to similar Christian historical fiction) but it is chock full of humor, heart, and real life lessons that Christians and non-Christians alike can learn from.
Forget the cliched story of Joseph you grew up hearing about- Fivash presents him as the real person he was. He made mistakes, he doubted God, long story short- he was human, just like you and me. I cannot stress enough how much I absolutely love this book and encourage you to read it.
The only word of advice I have, and which I see has been mentioned by other reviewers is this: Make time in your schedule to read it, because you won't be able to put it down once you've started!

Absolutely LOVED this book. The author did great research about Egyptian life during those times. She made these Bible characters really come to life. I could barely put it down.
This book makes the story of Joseph & all around him come to life. Terri has really gone out of her way to get increadable research done & it is so well written you are REALLY sorry when it ends ~ also leaves you thinking, "when will she write again!" Thankfully she has~ i am just reading Ruth & Boaz now & it is just as good. The other about David i have not read but will as soon as i can get my hands on a copy!! These books are well worth you money ( credits) & time!!!! ENJOY!!!!
