It is important for children to have a role model to follow in their faith. A new Bible study book to present a good role model to them was published on April 17, 2018. It is Dr. Jaerock Lee's seventh book in the junior Bible study series titled Joseph, the Passage to God's Covenant.
This book depicts the life journey of Joseph: from the time when he seemed to hit rock bottom when sold as a slave to Egypt at the age of 17 until he became the second ruler to the Pharaoh over Egypt and built the foundation of Israel to become a great nation.
It consists of 16 chapters. Every chapter starts with an instructive story and illustrations that attract children's interest. It is followed by main text and ends with 'activity' parts that help children review the main text and think further about how to apply it to their life.
In addition, varied material is included such as the family tree of Jacob, the father of Israel, and his son Joseph. It illustrates Joseph's route from place to place for the purpose of helping understand the historical background. Since Joseph believed the good will of God in such great hardships, he prospered and gained recognition from others as a great leader everywhere he went. It is expected that by following the footsteps of Joseph children understand the plan of God that is higher and greater than men's and the love of God who wants to give only good things to them.
