The Joseph Road: Choices That Determine Your Destiny

by Jerry E White

Overview

Do you wonder if God has a destiny for you? Joseph's life is a winding tale, from the choices laid before him to the struggles he endured to the protection God bestowed on him. Out of the ashes of disaster, God enabled him to rescue Egypt and to save a deeply flawed family that grew into a great nation. Dr. Jerry White, International President Emeritus of The Navigators, retired Air Force Major General, brings the life of Joseph of the Old Testament into modern times helping us traverse the difficulties and disasters of life. Following Joseph from the "Pit to the Palace" he shows how we can live vibrant God-honoring lives in a totally secular context. Each chapter has questions for Reflection for small groups and individuals. The Joseph Road shows how God leads from broken dreams and injustice to a life of success and significance. This account of family disfunction, sexual temptation, political intrigue and godly leadership helps us see the path God has for each of us in the reality of life.

Editorial Reviews

The Joseph Road is another thought-provoking book that reminds us that the journey is really a series of choices that ultimately affect each of us as we seek to know God. This is a book that every believer should read. Mike Timmis, former chairman of Prison Fellowship,

Jerry skillfully leads us to examine our own life journey. Can we discern the overarching hand of God, shaping events for good? Can we rise above our human tendency to anger and blame and become agents of grace, forgiveness and reconciliation? I urge you to travel The Joseph Road. Mike Treneer, former International President, The Navigators.

Life is filled with unforseen detours. Jerry White speaks from both Scripture and his own life. He urges us to respond to life's challenges with a strong faith in God, providing practical advice about perseverence, faithfulness and character. Alec Hill, President, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship

I have known Jerry White for more than two decades and have admired his strong leadership and intellect. But what I appreciate most is his deep walk with Christ, his commitment to making disciples around the world, and his love for and application of God's Word. Steve Douglass, President, Cru International
