Endorsement

"With great pleasure, we offer Octavius Winslow’s devotional treatment of the fascinating history of Joseph and his brothers. Winslow is peculiarly gifted at drawing our minds and hearts toward the Greater Joseph and His brethren. His chapters on Christ revealing Himself to His people, Christ as our brother, and the glory of Christ in heaven are alone worth the price of the book.As is true of all of Winslow’s writings, this volume is a gem. Representing devotional writing at its finest, it is replete with Christ-centered memorable statements for spiritual edification. Use this book to treasure those sacred truths of Scripture that will mold your thoughts, words, and actions for Christian living." - Joel R. Beeke.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST BOOK YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF!

Posted by G Langford on 2nd Apr 2025

Recommended as the "best book that I have ever read" I was introduced to this book by a dear friend after she learned that I too appreciated the writing of Octavius Winslow.

In all his work, Winslow writes with such wisdom and insight, employing an empathy rarely seen by today's authors.. much in the vein of Charles Spurgeon, who happened to also be preaching about this same time period in mid 19th century England.

In 'The Fullness Of Christ Unfolded In The Story Of Joseph', Winslow shines a light on the parallels of Jesus, particularly in His office as Head of the Church, and that of Old Testament patriarch Joseph, The insights are astounding, with the gospel message beautifully presented in every page. I too can now wholly agree that this is the BEST book outside of the Bible that I have ever read.. Ever! Who knew?!!

My new favorite!

Posted by Phoebe Bookamer on 5th Oct 2023

The combination of one of the most exciting & moving Bible stories along with one of the warmest, insightful, inspiring pastors makes an unparalleled heart-inflaming reading experience. Winslow pulls more out of a single verse than one would have thought possible. Each turn of the page is like seeing a different facet of a valuable gem!

Winslow's writings lead hearts in meditation and prayer

Posted by E. Greenewald on 28th Jan 2011

J.Beeke's endorsement of this volume is an excellent description of what I found in reading this superb devotional. My understanding of and praise to Christ have been deepened through the meditations and prayer which Winslow's treatment of the Scriptures inspired. Even children, who know from a very early age the events of Joseph's life, would benefit spiritually in their walk with Christ if this text were used as a family study. A book to read again and again.
