I read this book at a point where I truly needed it. Max Lucado took the story of Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers and shows us how Joseph kept hope during the most turbulent and trying times of his life. He breaks the story down into major points and shows us how Joseph's attitude toward God and his faith is what got him through it all. This doesn't mean that Joseph never got depressed, angry, or felt despair. Those are all human emotions, and he was human. However, he chose not to stay in those emotions. I recently went through a trial in my life. A friend gave me scripture. Then another friend mentioned several songs she had heard and told me to look at the lyrics because she thought of me when she heard it. Then I opened one of the sites that makes book recommendations to me and there was Max's book. The minute I started listening to the lyrics, stepping out of the way to let God take control, I felt relief. Like Joseph I chose not to let my situation define me. I chose to let God show me how he would work it to his good. Sometimes that good is to be worked only in our own life. I had reached a slump and needed this lesson. I love how god puts things in our path when we need it. Definitely a must read. ( )

Max Lucado has written You'll Get Through This : Hope and Help for Your Turbulent Times “In this book, Max reminds readers God doesn't promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless. That certainly wasn’t the case for Joseph who was tossed in a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, forgotten and dismissed, but God ultimately used the intended evil against Joseph for a greater purpose.” This book is found on the library shelves under the number 248.86/Luc

A book about crisis, about God, about the other side, an ending that will eventually come.

There is no formula, no verses taken out of content, no promises that will be a quick end to your pain.

God is in that pain. Divorce, infidelity, death, sickness, wounds, mental health issues, sexual abuse and rape. God is in these things. He uses them, He teaches with them, He strengthens you with them. He never leaves you alone to handle them. You might need to wait to be rescued from them.

Look at Job, David, Daniel and Christ. Look at the story of Joseph. Max uses the story of Joseph to show that even at the lowest points in Joseph's life, God was there. Thrown in a pit, sold into slavery, accused of attempted rape, thrown into prison, forgotten, God was there in every aspect. What was intended for evil, God has used for good.

Max also had made references to everyday people trying to manage everyday crisis.

I know God is in control of my life. I know what outcome I would like, and I pray for such, but God is sovereign and he might have a different outcome then what I desire. Simple for me, face what I am facing, taking one step at a time, like Christian, in "Pilgrim's Progress", the hardest thing is laying that burden at the feet of God, after that, "Keep Calm and Carry On".

I did not think I would like the book. I read it because it was a gift. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are looking to see where God was in the midst of your troubles. ( )

This book was written in 2013, but it sure does apply to this 2020 Covid-19 issue. Lucado has used excerpts from his books in his daily email devotional, and I think that was a wise move. As always, Lucado writes in an easy-to-read, truly inspirational book that applies to any difficult season of our lives. ( )

The focus of our Bible school, (Boone First Pres.) this July 2016 was Joseph from prison to throne. A friend gave me this book to read which took the events in his life and related it to 21st century common life situations.. I have never read Max Lucado thinking he was a conservative pious story writer. He surprised me with chapter titles like, is God good when life isn't and revenge feels good but then..... Yes, I was being judgmental without delving into the facts. Another lesson learned.
His writing is easy and sometimes comical as he describes the appearance of Joseph's brothers when they arrived in Egypt requesting grain. "These Hebrews stuck out in sophisticated Egypt like hillbillies in Times Square."

Lucado throws in a lot of common interest stories related to the trials of Joseph; for example, the history behind the poster, Keep Calm and Carry On, John Glenn's wife, Annie of 69 years who battled severe stuttering, adopted Christine Caine who after learning the circumstance of her adoption went out to help women lost in the horrible life of human trafficking, Matt Stephen a high school basketball player from Upper Darby, PA. Oh did I mention Matt is blind.

I learned a lot more about Joseph's story even though I have heard this since childhood Sunday school. Lucado doesn't place all the blame on the brothers who put him in the pit and told their father an animal killed him. He says Joseph needs to take much of the blame as he flaunts his preference by his father and his dreams of being bowed down to. But in the end family reigned and there was genuine forgiveness by all
I don't currently find myself needing help for turbulent times in my life , but I certainly was uplifted and encouraged by this book. ( )
