Part of the “Stories From the Bible” series for children, this is the familiar story of Joseph who wore a coat of many colors, a gift from his father. His older brothers were jealous, sold Joseph into slavery in Egypt, and let their father believe his favorite son had perished in a wild animal attack.

With colorful illustrations and an engaging text, both young and old readers will find much to appreciate in this story of a young man whose faith in God kept him safe in a foreign land and put him in the right place to help many others, including his family, when famine spread over the land.
