Overview

Abused and sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph could have lived a life filled with bitterness and hate. Instead he stood on his faith in God to save him, and eventually returned home in triumph to pardon those who wronged him. This study by noted author and communicator Gene Getz you'll learn how disappointment can destroy a man, or if placed in God’s hands, turn him into more than he ever imagined. The Men of Purpose series focuses on the lives of men in the Bible who provide poignant examples of godly masculinity. Each of these leaders faced trials, frustration, and failure, yet was inspired by God to achieve great goals. In a world where Christian male role models seem increasingly rare, this series reminds us that some of the most worthy examples of godly character can be found in the biblical figures who brought power, wisdom, and inspiration to God’s people throughout the ages.
