No man in Scripture lived more consistently and completely for God than did Joseph, a favorite son of Jacob. In times of adversity and in times of prosperity--both of which offered the temptation to deny God and his lordship--Joseph remained steadfast. Living by Faith is the third and final volume of Genesis. Volume 1 focused on God's relationship to the cosmos and to all peoples of the earth. Volume 2 traced the "new beginning" of God's plan of redemption. In volume 3, Boice follows the complete story of Joseph, a "man for all seasons." By exploring Joseph's loyalty to God, Boice presents him as an example for Christians today. Subjects include: -"God's Man in Egypt" (37:36) -"Prospering in Prison" (39:20-23) -"What Can I Believe?" (45:25-28) -"The Living Church" (48:1-11) -"Joseph: A Fruitful Vine" (49:22-26) -"Blessings upon Children's Children" (50:22-23)

James Montgomery Boice (1938 - 2000) was senior pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was also president and cofounder of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, the parent organization of The Bible Study Hour on which Boice was a speaker for more than thirty years.
