I love how god puts things in our path when we need it. I had reached a slump and needed this lesson. Sometimes that good is to be worked only in our own life. I chose to let God show me how he would work it to his good. Like Joseph I chose not to let my situation define me. The minute I started listening to the lyrics, stepping out of the way to let God take control, I felt relief. Then I opened one of the sites that makes book recommendations to me and there was Max's book. Then another friend mentioned several songs she had heard and told me to look at the lyrics because she thought of me when she heard it. I recently went through a trial in my life. However, he chose not to stay in those emotions. Those are all human emotions, and he was human. This doesn't mean that Joseph never got depressed, angry, or felt despair. He breaks the story down into major points and shows us how Joseph's attitude toward God and his faith is what got him through it all. Max Lucado took the story of Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers and shows us how Joseph kept hope during the most turbulent and trying times of his life. I read this book at a point where I truly needed it.
