Book Reviews of The Coat of Many Colors
Book Review: God was always there!
Summary: 5 Stars
My friend referred to this story when she was going through a time of turmoil professionally .... and her comments perfectly say what the wisdom of this Old Testament tale says:
My life at times closely resembles Joseph in the Old Testament. His life is identical to mine! What happened to Joseph wasnt fair! Whe your own family sells you as a slave and your bosss wife has you wrongly imporisoned you tend to ask Lord, whats going on!!...Before God promoted Joseph to the palace, He wanted to know how hed hold up under pressure...In Genesis, when Josephs brothers finally stand before him as ruler of Egypt, Joseph tells them, You didnt do it to me, God orchestrated the whole thing. God intended it for good.
As for myself, it is hard to understand why I go through the fires of refinement...but I think somewhere down the line, God will be able to use all that painful stuff to bring my life into focus and accomplish His purposes.
I am reminded of a meal I had in a pizzeria during my travels to Rome this past August...the kind of place where they take a ball of dough, slam it down, twirl it around, flatten it, and then put it into 1000 oven. That is what is required for the pizza to hold all that good stuff they plan to put on top...I think I am that pizza dough and God as the person working it...Hes got some good stuff he wants to lay on me, but before He can do it Hes got to knock me into shape...
Summary of The Coat of Many Colors
A long time ago in Israel, ten brothers grew jealous of their fathers favorite son, Joseph, and of his wonderful coat of many colors. They decided to teach Joseph a lesson he wouldnt forget. . . . This exciting retelling, with images by one of the twentieth centurys most distinguished illustrators, makes a perfect first Bible story for very young readers.Bible Books
