Bookish Feature: God Won't Leave You There

Happy Monday, My Lovelies! How was your Mother's Day weekend? We had such a nice one. We watched baseball, went to Mother's Day Brunch at our country club, and relaxed.

I keep intending to share a few of our house renovations projects, but none of our rooms are completely done yet. I want to post the rooms once they're completely finished. It's a process, y'all!

In the interim, I will be sharing a few books and travel here on the blog.

Today I'm featuring a book co-written by a mother/daughter duo about Joseph: God Won't Leave You There.

My Thoughts

I was so excited when TLC Book Tours asked me to be a part of the tour for this book because I have always loved the biblical story of Joseph. He was his father Jacob's eleventh and favorite son (out of twelve), and his brothers resented him to the point that they wanted to kill him. Instead, they sold him to Egyptian slave traders, and lied to their father and said that a wild animal had killed him. Joseph was the oldest son of Jacob's favorite wife Rachel, and he was devastated when he heard the news. Although tragic, Joseph's life story doesn't end there. He becomes an official in the Egyptian government, thrown in prison for a crime he didn't commit, and eventually restored and promoted to the second highest in command in Egypt. This placed Joseph into a very unique position to not only save his family during a famine, but to also save his country. It's such a wonderful story to read about and study because readers throughout history can see God's hand in Joseph's story. His story and heart have encouraged people for millennia. The grace that Joseph extends his brothers after their betrayal warms my heart.

This book does a deep dive into the story of Joseph and his family. The authors do a very good job applying the biblical truths of this story to our lives today. But my very favorite chapter of the entire book is Chapter Eleven. Entitled "God will Bring You Through By His Grace," it is mostly about when Jacob blesses and prophesies over all of his sons. It was fun reading about how these prophecies play out. Of course my very favorite is Judah's blessing because he had made so many egregious mistakes in his life.....yet he changed, and his father recognized it. And you probably recall that Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Again, the application in this chapter is so helpful as it asks if you can relate to the good and bad characteristics of each son.

I found this book fascinating and encouraging, which is what I want in Christian nonfiction books. I highly recommend it because if God through his grace can bring Joseph out of a dire situation and completely use it for good, then God can and will move mountains in your life, too.

DISCLOSURE: I was given a hardcover copy of God Won't Leave You There from the publisher via TLC Book Tours in exchange for a fair and honest review.
