By Frederick Brotherton Meyer | Annotated Edition
In this timeless study of one of Scripture’s most compelling lives, beloved pastor and writer Frederick Brotherton Meyer draws readers deep into the life of Joseph—the boy with the prophetic dreams, the slave in a foreign land, the prisoner unjustly accused, and finally, the ruler raised to power by the hand of God.
With profound spiritual insight and vivid narrative detail, Meyer explores the hidden providence of God in every stage of Joseph’s journey, offering readers a moving portrait of faith under pressure, purity in temptation, and forgiveness in power. Each chapter reveals rich foreshadowings of Christ and enduring truths for believers today.
This freshly annotated edition preserves Meyer’s stirring original while updating grammar, clarifying archaic language, and providing scriptural citations from the ESV. It speaks with clarity and warmth to both new believers and seasoned Christians, offering encouragement for those navigating hardship, injustice, or long seasons of waiting.
More than biography, JOSEPH: Beloved, Hated, Exalted is a call to trust the God who overrules evil, exalts the humble, and fulfills His promises in His perfect time.
“You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…”
—Genesis 50:20
