Once again Dr. James B. Sampson provides remarkable insight and makes an invaluable contribution on teaching us how to endure the process and reach our destiny, by highlighting the life of Joseph. There are different seasons of life and we all have or will face our 'Joseph Season.' This book is a powerful exposition that provides encouragement to anyone who can relate to poisonous plots, painful pits, and prison-like tendencies in their life. Dr. Sampson shows us if we acknowledge God in the midst of all these negative factors, he will direct our path to destiny. In reading this book I was able to reflect on my own seasons of struggle and despair and remembering almost waving the white flag of surrender. Thus, I thank God that the pit, the pain and the poison of life is not our permanent residence, but only a thoroughfare to authentic praise! We can see the movement of God's hand working in the life of Joseph, our fore parents, Jesus our Lord, and all who will live godly. This book provides us with incredible encouragement, inspiration and hope while providing biblical and spiritual principles to apply on our personal journey. No matter the test, if I remain 'loyal' to the 'royal' within me, I can say assuredly, "Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning." Read every page with reverence, relevance, reflection and rejoicing. This book will bless your journey with Jesus!
