About This Book
Joseph by Brian Wildsmith, published by Sophia Institute Press, is a richly illustrated retelling of the beloved Old Testament story of Joseph, son of Jacob. Featuring Wildsmith's signature full-color artwork, this edition brings to life the splendor of ancient Egypt, the drama of betrayal and slavery, and the triumph of forgiveness and divine providence. Children will follow Joseph from his father's favorite son, gifted with a coat of many colors, through slavery and imprisonment, to his rise as second-in-command to Pharaoh. Themes of mercy, perseverance, and hope are woven throughout this suspenseful, action-packed narrative that is as spiritually enriching as it is visually stunning.
