Joseph's Dream News
Joseph's Dream News represents ancient stories in a modern newspaper or popular magazine style of reporting for the modern reader who may have little knowledge of ancient past, or of epistemology, psychology, cosmology, theology, astronomy, science, psycholinguistics, politics and religion. Presenting these ancient stories using modern idioms and formats the author makes them come alive in dealing with real life problems, challenges and circumstances in the world today. In ancient characters we can learn something about life and ourselves. Is it possible to see the repeat of history as you read through these headlines? History will show you the future if you understand and gain perspectives from studying narratives of the past. Our story of Joseph's heroic adventures is the timeless tale of a young person who faces many challenges while growing up and how he responds and reacts to these challenges. Core principles enabled Joseph to be a servant of God and to follow his dreams. Tossed into a hole in the ground by his own brothers and then later sold into slavery did not alter Joseph's firm belief that God was with him. Joseph was a possibility thinker, no matter what was happening in the circumstances or changing events of the moment around him he stayed true to his God and his beliefs. Often held in slavery or captivity, Joseph served his fellow man confident that God was with him as he hustled to make his dreams a reality. Joseph's faith in God engendered his high ethical standards early in life and shaped his passion to serve humanity to the best of his ability. He was proactive and took responsibility for acquiring learned lessons from his experiences and by always choosing a positive, life affirming response to dire circumstances. Early in life, Joseph learned time tested sound principles while working on his father's farm. Joseph's principled thinking empowered his honesty, duty, service and problem solving skills. Joseph believed his life purpose was service to God. He believed that in serving others he was serving God. His life of service to others helped to mold his character and shape his choices and options in life. This humble personality is what made him a great leader. However, this did not necessarily mean he always made the right choices in what was best for the people.

About the Author

Joseph Cosgrove, author of this book, bears the first name of a notable dreamer who rose from bondage to freedom, from slavery to becoming a powerful world changing ruler. By the age of nine Joe had read through the entire Bible.
While in high school, Joe Cosgrove learned a great deal about the Holy Scriptures from Dr. Harold John Ockenga, pastor and renowned Biblical scholar and co-founder of Fuller Theological Seminary. Dr. Ockenga is noted for his Bible expositional preaching for 33 years at historic Park Street Church in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr Ockenga's scholarly and engaging approach in presenting the message of Bible attracted thousands of college students in Boston to Park Street each Sunday.
At Wheaton College, Joe majored in History and minored in Biblical studies. Joe's graduate studies at Fuller Seminary included philosophy, theology and psychology. During his three years at Fuller Joe wrote Sunday school lessons for a major Christian publishing house. He also was a popular speaker at youth conferences where he inspired his audience to read the Bible for themselves.
Paul Harvey, the most listened to radio newsman in America was a longtime friend of Joe. Over many years Joe provided interesting news stories for Paul Harvey News on the ABC radio network. It was Paul Harvey's unique story telling that inspired Joe to bring the past alive today as headline breaking news.
