Read for a group study at church.
I am being benevolent in giving this book 2 stars. I was hopeful that the book would get better. The premise is great. The pastors writing it are probably good people. But there are Biblical interpretation errors (like how long was Joseph in the cistern, etc.) and contradictions in chapters. With the book being highly touted, I expected more. The editors could have clarified these before publication and didn’t.
I stopped reading the book mid-chapter 4. Donny Osmond and Andrew Lloyd Weber seemed to have more accuracy than this book.
The message on waiting for God’s timing vs our own is a truthful one, but when the road to get there is confusing, the message is lost.
I truly wish I could have enjoyed the book. Even the videos were disappointing - all the authors did was “tell” the book. No new information.
If they write another book, I hope they will be more diligent in their research.

This book was fabulous. I read it in a day on a personal retreat, which was perfect for me. Using the journal prompts, I worked through each chapter, which were incredible guides for my own spiritual journey of seeing how far I’ve come but also, giving me space to dream with God about the future. Jevon and Nicole use humor and stories that are easy to connect with, while also using Joseph’s story through scripture to bring that story to life. I look forward to using this book with my congregation in the future for them to do their own study of Joseph and God’s dreams for their lives.
