Joseph's brothers hated him, threw him into a pit, and sold him for twenty shekels of silver. More than twenty years later they bowed before him in Egypt, not knowing who he was, and he held their lives in his hands. He could have repaid them. Instead he asked the question that gives this book its title.
Am I in the Place of God? is a 30-day devotional through the story of Joseph (Genesis 37–50) for anyone carrying a family wound. Along the way you'll follow Dorrie, a 77-year-old retired farm mediator, and Evan, a farm lender whose three older brothers pushed him out of the family farm nine years ago while their father lay in a hospital bed. Now the farm is failing after three dry years, his father has had a second stroke, and the loan application on Evan's desk has his brothers' names on it. They meet on Saturday mornings at a bakery, and their conversations lead into each day's Scripture, reflection, and practice.
Inside
- The Favored Son: the robe, the dreams, the pit, the twenty shekels, and the bloody robe brought home to a father
- Down to Egypt: Judah exposed, the LORD with Joseph in a stranger's house, temptation refused, false accusation, prison, and being forgotten
- Raised Up: two full years, "I myself cannot do it," seven years of abundance, two sons named for forgetting and fruitfulness, and the famine
- The Brothers Come: the bow, the confession they did not know he heard, the returned silver, Judah's pledge, and a meal seated in order by age
