Favorite Quotes:

"Anger is a poison that destroys the soul." (pg. 81)

"I would rather serve a God who cannot lie... A God who is the same today as he was yesterday, and will still be the same tomorrow." (pg. 82)

"I appreciate your kindness, but I must disagree," Joseph answered. "I have found that faith is a higher faculty than reason. Though, of course, faith is only as strong as the object in which it is placed." (pg. 86)

"He set a dream in my heart and has called me away from the bosom of my father. Now He bids me trust Him." (pg. 92)

"Remember this, my son—a patient man is better than a warrior. A man who controls his desires is stronger than one who rules a city." (pg. 103)

A statement I questioned:
"Abraham was not the only one put to the test, Joseph answered... God was also. Abraham tested the strength and goodness of God."

God test Abraham (Gen 22) and later his faith was credited to him as righteousness (Romans 4:9; Romans 4:22; Galatians 3:6; James 2:23; Genesis 15:6; Titus 3:8). Did Abraham test God? I don't believe so, I read only that Abraham believed and Abraham trusted.

"By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." Hebrews 11:18

Overall, a very well written story. The main characters and their motives were fleshed out well. I wish the author had included an Author's note in the back to explain some of her creative choices. Perhaps she has done so in her updated version of this book. I will likely read the re-released versions of books 2 and 3 since they are available for free to kindle unlimited subscribers.

Weigh Up Containing Books Dreamers (Legacies of the Ancient River #1)

To be honest I was disappointed int this book. If I had read it years ago I would have given it a higher rating I love most anything with Biblical/ancient history. But recently I have read research on Egyptian history and I consider this book historically inaccurate. Its as if the author took some well known characters from ancient Egypt and a famous character from the Bible (Joseph) and attempted to weave thier lives together. She placed the life of Joseph hundreds of years ahead of time and

This is a fictional tale of Joseph in Egypt and his rise to power. A very good story about his life, loves, struggles, pridefulness, and his faith. Of course its just a story, but it definitely brings him to life. Seeing how he is a great, great, great,...........grandfather of us all it was a Great read!!

More of a romance than anything (and with some fairly sensual descriptions), though the story was interesting in other ways, and there were some good lessons about pride and such. I also didn't feel there was enough self-constraint on the part of Joseph, or enough focus on the true God. He was willing to marry a pagan in this fictional story, and we have nothing like that mentioned in the Biblical account. (Yes, Pharaoh gave Joesph an Egyptian wife, but it doesn't say whether he wanted to marry

Hunt gives us an entirely different perspective of Joseph, of the Old Testament. She focuses this book on his sojourn from the time he is taken by the Egyptians as a slave after his brothers sell him through his marriage to Asenath in Egypt. Her historical research into the various Pharoahs of this time period along with his master, Potiphar, as well as her Biblical foundation make for a wonderful read. She fills your senses with the sights and sounds of Egypt and draws lovely pictures of the

As with any Angela Hunt book I read, Im usually left feeling obsessed with the time period I just came out of reading about. Thats how good her books are! Her historical details always grab my attention, and leave me breathless. Perhaps the only thing about the book which left me feeling unsatisfied was the romance...but at least they end up together in the end!

Affair is coming all round... Halah... It's a story about Prophet Yusuf (?) and interesting enough to read it, an ancient plot to destruct somebody because of hatred, love and jealoussy. See how love can be so mean...

If you have trouble following stories in the Bible, read this series because even though the author has fictionalized events, the sequences and characters remain true to the original.
