Bruce T. Forbes

4.9/5 (29223 ratings)

Description:"Bruce T. Forbes takes on arguably the most challenging of long-poem forms, Miltonic blank verse – challenging because it is at once easy to imitate and difficult to master and wield as one’s own." Michael R. Collings, professor emeritus in English from Pepperdine University and past Director of Creative Writing for Seaver CollegeSeventeen-year-old Joseph was the birthright son destined to become the patriarch of the tribe and administrator of the covenant the Almighty had made with Abraham and then renewed with Isaac and his father Jacob. But through the hatred and jealousy of his ten older brothers, he found himself tied to a passing caravan and sold in an Egyptian marketplace as a slave, where he had no rights or freedom to worship and follow the god of his fathers or live according to his laws. Every day became an exercise in choosing to follow the Lord. How could the Lord bless and lead him unless he remained faithful? At what cost?Twenty years later, as Grand Vizer of Egypt, Joseph faced an even greater challenge: forgiving his brothers.Combining story elements from the Holy Bible, the writings of Josephus, the Book of Mormon, and even the Holy Qur'an, writer Bruce T. Forbes weaves the story of one of his childhood heroes into heroic blank verse poetry to celebrate how one man's faith, courage, and forgiveness not only brought great honor to himself and his family but also saved the entire world as he knew it from starvation and ruin, and literally changed the course of history. For those who have asked: Why is this happening to me? What should I do? Should I forgive?, the story of Joseph in Egypt is an example to all on how to face the challenging and life-changing situations we face in our daily lives.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
