I have always enjoyed the story of Joseph. When I started to read about it in Walking the Bible, I was excited. It tells about a boy who was favored by his parents, hated by his brothers, and still possessed the ability to save a nation.

As Fieler notes, “At seventeen, Joseph tends flocks in central Canaan with his brothers, and brings bad reports of them to his father” (pp.138).
