JUMPSTART YOUR LIFE:
An increasing number of individuals are drifting on a virtual ocean, searching for balance between work and life in the hope of finding meaning and success as the world defines it. Few realize that God's definition is different and gives the results they are searching for.
The pages of this book deliver a rare and captivating review of the life of Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob (Israel). Genesis 37:3 states that Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son off his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. Jacob's love, physically reinforced by the gift of this special coat, generated much bitter rivalry and hatred among siblings. Hugh Rowe through the life of Joseph, cleverly reinforces the point that God supports our spiritual, emotional and economic success when we exercise faith in Him, in spite of one's possible existence in a setting of jealousy and betrayal. Economic success, which is a preoccupation of most people, the author maintains, is based on the integral spiritual principle of team work, modeled by the Holy Trinity.
Readers are also reminded that one's integrity and humility are paramount to absolute exoneration and exaltation by Almighty God, as exemplified in Joseph's elevation from the status of slave to the head economic affairs in Egypt, then to prison and back to his esteemed position as one of the supreme heads of Egypt.
