“A unique and special kind of masterpiece.” (John Banville)
This program is read by the author.
Stephen Mitchell’s gift is to breathe new life into ancient classics. In Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness, he offers us his riveting novelistic version of the biblical tale in which Jacob’s favorite son is sold into slavery and eventually becomes viceroy of Egypt. Tolstoy called it the most beautiful story in the world. What’s new here is the lyrical, witty, vivid prose, informed by a wisdom that brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness. Mitchell’s retelling, which reads like a postmodern novel, interweaves the narrative with brief meditations that, with their Zen surprises, expand the narrative and illuminate its main themes.
By stepping inside the minds of Joseph and the other characters, Mitchell reanimates one of the central stories of Western culture. The engrossing tale that he has created will capture the hearts and minds of modern listeners and show them that this ancient story can still challenge, delight, and astonish.

I have always been able to relate more easily to the story of Joseph than the story of Jesus Christ. However, I must add, in my understanding of the Bible and it's message it is a story told over time. Time continuing to this day. In the respect, a historical understanding of the story Joseph, his place in the genealogy of Jesus, helps me to know the story of Jesus better.
Stephen Mitchell tells Joseph's story so beautifully. So rich with description. He narrates it beautifully as well. He was able to paint the pictures so beautifully with his words, his tenor, his cadence. Many audible books can be so much better if the person doing the reading performed like Stephen has with this book.
I found this book while searching for a better understanding of forgiveness. While searching for some direction, how to free myself from the effects of un-forgiveness. I did not get what I was looking for until the end. I was hoping for bits and pieces along the way. Morsels of knowledge culminating in a list of to do's. What I learned was Joseph was not a born "forgiver". He was like many of us young and naive, plodding along being ourselves not aware of the good or bad that is in us. Many of us never intending our naturally bestowed gifts to be harmful to others. Stephen Mitchell gets me to the point of knowing Joseph's forgiveness by helping Joseph's story be so real. The unbelievable dysfunction that existed in generations of Joseph's family painted so vividly. Natural emotion run riot and the things we do as a result. The devastation of losing loved ones through no fault of our own. Betrayal, redemption. Ultimately it is the love we all pain for. The longing to love and to be loved. I needed this book. I'm so glad it found me. Thank you Stephen Mitchell.
Beautiful telling of the story of Joseph.

I've yet to read or listen to a Stephen Mitchell book that is anything less than 5+ stars. I highly recommend this beautiful book, with this beautiful translation of this important story. I'm so grateful I bought it in both Audible and Kindle formats, so I can linger in the sections that move my heart.
Solid 5-stars
