“Deep, rich, and nourishing—Joseph is vintage Lennox. He has the rare gift of opening life as well as the biblical text, so that we come away understanding God’s ways more clearly and trusting him more fully.” - Os Guinness, author, The Call

“I thought I really knew the story of Joseph—but was thrilled by the fact that in chapter after chapter, there were so many fresh insights. If you don’t believe me, just turn to the chapter on Joseph and Potiphar’s wife. John Lennox has written a riveting commentary on one of the timeless characters of the Bible.” - Rico Tice, Senior Minister (Evangelism), All Souls Church, London

“You may think this story is familiar, but again and again Lennox brings forth new gems in this expert guide through Joseph’s dysfunctional family history. Despite the depth of tragedy, God brought hope.” - Peter J. Williams, Principal, Tyndale House, Cambridge; author, Can We Trust the Gospels?

Taking you beyond the Sunday School reading of Joseph's story, John Lennox explores the themes and messages that resonate with faith today.
