Joseph: Man of Suffering, Man of Destiny: Exploring the Life of Joseph and the Transformative Power of a Destiny Forged through Suffering

by Steve Allen

JOSEPH, MAN OF SUFFERING/MAN OF DESTINY After teaching on the life of Joseph for the past 12 years, God dropped a dream in my heart to narrate this incredible story. Come behind the scenes and discover the heart behind the man. On this journey you will meet the men and women who become his friends and some of his worst Kunté, Omár, Tolík, Myamáll, Nedjém, Neféret, Jabarí, Sekhét, Gamál, Nöur, Sét, and Lotán. Allow yourself to be transported back almost 3700 years to the time of the pharaohs. Through brilliant pencil sketches, beautiful songs, and inspiring poetry, immerse yourself into the life of Joseph and allow God to speak to you through this amazing son of Jacob. His story is our story. His suffering is our suffering. His destiny is our destiny. Join the journey of a lifetime. THE VISION JOURNEY Learn profound lessons from the life of Joseph as we uncover and explore Kingdom treasures from one of the most beloved patriarchs of the Old Testament. Learn why the themes of identity, vision, and destiny are so important for us as believers to understand and implement in our daily lives. From the streets of San Francisco, to the rooftop of the world in the Himalayas, travel with the author, Steve Allen, as he shares nuggets of wisdom that can help transform your life. Learn how to craft a personal vision statement and walk the “Hall of Vision” as you read vision statements and testimonies from men and women of God who have been walking in their callings for decades. Allow their lives to impact yours as you seek to bring glory to the King of Kings! ENDORSEMENTS Read Steve’s refreshing retelling of Joseph’s story. Drink in his wisdom, dream his dreams, and from your pit or your prison be prepared for a knock on the door to hear, “Pharaoh is calling!” Lou Engle Visionary Co-founder Of TheCall Author of The Jesus Fast This biblical story of Joseph is not only masterfully written so that one’s attention is riveted to its pages, but it is written by a man of God who, like Joseph, has allowed his suffering to be turned into rejoicing and praise and hope and joy. Steve Allen is an amazing man of God, displaying what can happen as we surrender every circumstance of life to Jesus, never allowing any circumstance to destroy us or to take away hope. If we rein with Jesus, we are victorious. Steve is victorious. Joseph was victorious. All those years of suffering were essential for the character formation essential for his move into his intended destiny. No one is more qualified to share that story with us than Steve Allen. I recommend Steve’s Joseph story like few books I’ve ever read and guarantee that you will be uplifted and encouraged through the reading.  Don Finto Pastor Emeritus of Belmont Church and Founder of Caleb Global Author of Your People Shall Be My People, God’s Promise and the Future of Israel, and The Handbook for the End Times Often our theology today is far too shallow in that it doesn’t have room to know with confidence the goodness of God in the midst of the harsh realities of life in this fallen world.  Difficulties and trials are faced by all, even Jesus' followers, and sometimes as a result of following Jesus.  We cannot know Jesus better and live in the fullness of life He promised without “sharing in His sufferings.”  I’ve never met anyone who has more authority in the Spirit to help us grow in this than Steve.

Inspiring!

Awesome and inspiring stuff Joseph. I didn't want to put it down. Author Steve Allen's personal testimony of trials and ultimate spiritual victory and teaching made Joseph's story even more poignant and so relevant! This is truly a must read AND reread! A legacy!
