Beloved. Betrayed. Despised. Exalted. What could make a man turn to God when every event in his life screams that God has turned his back on him? Joseph, the eleventh son of the patriarch Jacob, had his father's favor, and that was his downfall. Sold into Egypt by his enraged and jealous brothers, Joseph is left with nothing to cling to except the stories of his father's God, a seemingly remote and unreachable figure. Faith may prove futile, but Joseph is desperate - for the very hate that enslaved his brothers has begun to overtake him.
