The Trouble with Dreams (Paperback)

Being a favorite son is not always easy. Young Joseph enjoys lavish gifts and special attention from his father, Jacob. Unaware of his brothers' intense jealousy and hatred, he shares his dreams where sheaves and stars, representing his brothers, bow down to him. Their father's final gift to Joseph, a glorious multi-colored coat, is the last straw for his brothers. In outrage they sell him to slave traders who are passing through the area where they are herding sheep. Joseph's life looks hopeless. But what about the dream? Was God speaking to him in those dreams? How could they ever come true now?
