REVIEW: JOSEPH by BILL CROWDER!

 Hey, folks! I have a review today for Joseph by Bill Crowder, a new study on the biblical account of Joseph. I definitely loved this book and hope you look into it yourself!



ABOUT THE BOOK

Popular author Bill Crowder brings Joseph’s story to life, helping you discover how God can use trials such as broken relationships and unexpected setbacks to grow your faith and draw you closer to Himself. With historical and cultural context, relatable themes, and reflection questions, this biblical character studyprovides relevant insights about relying on God amid difficulties. Perfect for anyone who wants to know the Bible better—alone or in a group. 


MY REVIEW

Crowder's book JOSEPH offers a wonderful perspective on the biblical account of Joseph. It takes a deep-dive into the family dynamics that brought about Joseph's betrayal and, ultimately, placed him where God wanted him. It covers a range of topics from Joseph's character arc and how he grew/matured throughout the Genesis account, as well as the ways the Lord used those setbacks and betrayals to bring about good. Genesis 50:20 is one of my favorite Bible verses, so to see it as presented by Crowder was fascinating. This is a good book to work through alone or in a group setting, with some questions that may be better mulled over in  quiet if some aren't comfortable sharing. (I may be presenting this book as a study option for my church's young adult group!) Overall, this is an impactful study, short and thought-provoking, and it's clear that Crowder put a lot of research and time into cultivating this resource. Highly recommended!
