A Life of Favor: A Family Therapist Examines the Life of Joseph and His Brothers

A Family Therapist Examines the Story of Joseph and His Brothers. Favor is an inherent part of God’s reality as Father, and properly understood, is a source of blessing to those who want to know him. The story of Jacob’s sons points to a life of favor that can make a difference in our lives today. This is not a how-to book with easy steps to overcome depression, anxiety and addictions which are sweeping through our culture. Instead, it’s a visionary book that looks deeply into this amazing story and helps us imagine our own stories. Reading the ancient story of Joseph and his brothers from a family-dynamics perspective provides rich insights into our own identity and relationships in the twenty-first century. Rabbi Resnik is one of Messianic Judaism's wise sages. In his reflective new volume he takes a thoughtful look at the ancient book and applies it to modern circumstances—you'll be the better for the reading.—Dr. Jeffrey Seif, Retired "University Distinguished Professor of Bible an
