Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ninety-seven-year-old Jacob is a shepherd blessed with several wives and children, one of whom is Joseph, his son with Rachel. One day after Jacob is visited by a messenger from God, he decides to return home to Canaan after a twenty-year absence. Because the King of Cyprus and his soldiers are plundering towns and caravans along the Euphrates River, Jacob anticipates his journey will be dangerous. After he leaves his herd in capable hands and recruits trained soldiers to accompany him, Jacob and all his people set out on a new adventure. His son, Joseph, is just six years old. Not long after they begin their journey, Jacob has a skirmish with an angel of God who blesses him and changes his name to Israel. As Israel immerses himself in a new life, Joseph sits with the women and reluctantly studies. But as he matures and eventually learns that God is sending him to Egypt to save his family from famine, Joseph realizes just what he will have to sacrifice in order to fulfill God's plan. Joseph, Son of Jacob shares the tale of a shepherd and his son as they loyally follow the Lord's plan for their lives.
