PROLOGUE Second David, Trials and Tribulations This book covers Second Samuel 12:31 through First Kings 2:1This book picks up where David God's Chosen Crucible leaves off. There is a natural break in his story at this point. David is at the height of his power and acclaim. He has married his soulmate Bathsheba, who is pregnant with his unborn child. He made the child legitimate by killing Bathsheba's husband, Uriah the Hittite. He married her when she became an available widow. David believes he has eluded both the judgment of men and God's Judgment.David stated that since it was the sword of Amon and not him directly, claiming that "The sword of war devours one as well as another," allowing him to proclaim innocence. He is now the master of a huge domain, the empire of Israel. This feat surpasses his imagination of greatness.At a feast celebrating all that he had accomplished. Nathan the Prophet enters and asks David for a judgment. Nathan tells of two men, one rich with flocks and herds and a poor man with one ewe lamb that he treated like family and ate at his table. The rich man took the poor man's one ewe lamb and dressed it for the stranger. He asks David, "What would you do to this rich man who took the poor man's one ewe lamb."In self-righteous anger, David proclaimed, "I would have him killed and make him pay it back four times."Nathan looks at David squarely, points to him, and accusingly announces, "You are the man, and the sword will never leave your house."Nathan's fable tricks David, and he Judges himself and sets his punishment. Is this not how, when standing in front of God with our perfect knowledge of our sins, we judge ourselves and announce the punishment to set the scales of justice aright, For mercy cannot rob justice?Vast wealth and greed ... Envy, trickery, lust, murder, and underhanded power grabs Assassination attempts, Incest , and deadly family plotting. An unwitting party to human sacrifice and contending with fierce battling giants.As a novelist, I use poetic license to depict events I imagine could have happened. I use well-researched details consistent with the human mind, will, and emotions for the era: geography, local customs, rumors, legends, and the ever-dark spin of power politics.5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing. Detailed. A Great StoryReviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022Verified PurchaseJoseph Ganci writes Biblical narratives. This means that he takes short passages and stories from scripture -- and, because he understands the language, culture, geography, and history of the subject so well, he weaves a fantastic novel that adds in the intrigue, and heartache, the tough choices, and the "feel" of what it's like to be in that place and time. Mel F.4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely thought-provokingReviewed in the United States on May 7, 2022I am still thinking about this book after a week. That is probably a good sign. It is very interesting to see this story brought forward with so much detail.Ron FVerified PurchaseWell written. Once I started reading hard to put down

A poetic portrait of Joseph Smith's early life and career A quintessentially American saga, the life of Joseph Smith offers believers and non-believers alike an epic narrative that inhabits both grounded history and a heavenly sphere of action. Zachary McLeod Hutchins renders Smith's early life as a poetic narrative in two parts. The first introduces a very human Joseph and his youthful encounter with demonic powers seeking to prevent any communication with heaven. Following his First Vision, the teenaged prophet is charged by the angel Moroni to retrieve and translate a sacred record inscribed on gold plates. The second part picks up the story four years later, as Joseph marries Emma Hale and undertakes the plates' translation. Hutchins supplies a fictionalized excerpt from that translation, The Book of Lehi, and details Joseph's efforts to organize his growing band of followers, concluding on a note of contentment at odds with the tumultuous times to come in Smith's final years. An innovative perspective on Smith's early exploits, Joseph: An Epic reinterprets the origin story of a religious seeker and the faith he created.

This book provides insights for the spiritual journey through a profound psychological engagement with the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis. Like Joseph, every human being faces problems in life - whether threats to identity, relationship breakdown, depression, bereavement, stress, personal failure or other forms of suffering. How we negotiate these crises, and what resources we find to cope with them, can shape the way we grow as Christians. In line with the story of Joseph, the chapters in this book are ultimately about personal transformation - how we can make something out of the life that has been given us. Over time, we may find that we have been co-creators within a larger story.
'This book is electric. Meg Warner has that rare knack of using personal story to bring the biblical story to life... It makes for compulsive reading.' Nicholas Holtam, Bishop of Salisbury You may think you know the story of Joseph, but this book will make you think again! It invites you to think deeply about Joseph’s character and how he responds to the traumatic events that threaten to overwhelm him. Lacing her commentary with telling anecdotes from her own life story, Meg Warner shows how a deeper understanding of Joseph's story can help you develop the vital quality of resilience: the will and the strength to endure life's hardships and rise above the effects of trauma whenever it may strike. 'With characteristic deftness, disarming honesty and exegetical skill, Meg Warner makes the story of Joseph a parable for our lives and times.' Sam Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London 'A great read for individuals, this book is also an invaluable resource for groups.' Liz Boase, University of Divinity, Australia
Spain - 1808 to 1813 - where Revolution collides with Reaction, a British Army with a French; the Spain of Goya, where ignorant armies clash and from under them all comes the voice of Joseph: by birth European, by education enlightened, and living in Salamanca which suffered a new invasion every six months and saw one of Wellington's greatest battles. From the moment in early childhood when Joseph hurls a stone at a playmate and makes an evil enemy for life, to the last page when he climbs a hill in North Spain accompanied by a donkey, a giantess, and a new-born babe, and blunders into a battle, he takes the reader by the elbow and hurries him 'will he or will he not' across the terrible years that saw the birth of our own times.Racy, picaresque, but with an underlying seriousness, JOSEPH is a panoramic novel of the Spanish Penisular War, revealing as Goya did its grotesqueries and ironies as well as its horrifying waste of life. Rathbone's wit, sensitivity and confident grasp of the subject are superbly matched to this brilliant historical scene.JOSEPH has never before been published in paperback.
Westermann's unique gift of linking biblical study with basic human experience is clearly evident in each of the eleven studies in this book. This simple wisdom will be invaluable to students and general readers alike.
As Almighty God chose the immaculate Virgin Mary to be the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, so with the same great care he chose that chaste man of God, a descendant of King David, St. Joseph, to be the perfect reflection of the Eternal Father in the best of human ways to raise God’s Son and Mary’s boy as God’s perfect reflection of what fatherhood should be. Jesus loved Joseph. Jesus respected him and honored him throughout his life. This book will reflect on how this was done.
The complex and dramatic story of Joseph is the most sustained narrative in Genesis. Many call it a literary masterpiece and a story of great depth that can be read on many levels. In a lucid and engaging style, Alan T. Levenson brings the voices of Philo, Josephus, Midrash, and medieval commentators, as well as a wide range of modern scholars, into dialogue about this complex biblical figure. Levenson explores such questions as: Why did Joseph’s brothers hate him so? What is achieved by Joseph’s ups and downs on the path to extraordinary success? Why didn’t Joseph tell his father he was alive and ruling Egypt? What was Joseph like as a husband and father? Was Joseph just or cruel in testing his brothers’ characters? Levenson deftly shows how an unbroken chain of interpretive traditions, mainly literary but also artistic, have added to the depth of this fascinating and unique character.
