Diamonds, gold, and precious pearls don't lie on the earth's surface. We have to search for them. And so it is with the precious gems of the Bible. We have to dig for them. They have been hidden from the eyes those who fail to "search the Scriptures." The life of Joseph in particular is filled with enigmatic meaning and biblical types that are easily missed by a superficial reading of the wonderful story. From his initial strange dreams, to the continual attempts to seduce him by Potiphar's unfaithful wife, to being thrown in jail as an accused sexual predator, to his divinely assisted interpretations of the bizarre dreams of the butler, the baker, and Pharaoh-all carry amazing truths that will comfort, encourage, and thrill the godly soul. And how we need comfort, because almost every day has a fresh curveball-the unexpected job loss, bills that come from nowhere, sickness, the neighbor's barking dog, and the car that breaks down. It seems that the whole world has conspired to make our short life miserable. And it certainly would be, if we missed the great lessons from a young man whose life was as colorful as his famous coat.

A Revival of Joy!Using the language and stories of former alcoholics transformed by Jesus Christ, Don Wilkerson makes a contrast between drinking "high" of drugs and the experience with the Most High God. Using Apostle Paul's admonition to "not be drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18), Don makes a similar contrast between joy in the Lord and the false euphoria of the addict and alcoholic. There is also possible scientific evidence that if the brain waves of someone on cocaine were compared with someone joyful in the Lord, the latter would show a "peace that passes all understanding."Don Wilkerson shares twelve chapters based on the real-life experiences of addicts finding supernatural answers to their addiction. These stories are sometimes humourous, but nevertheless real. It is hoped you will find the reading of this book a joyful experience. There is an important message here for those needing freedom from addiction, as well as encouragement for those in recovery. Read this and then share with someone else and spread joy where needed.

Moses, David, Joseph, Peter, Paul...these are just some of the well-known names of the Bible. They are the subject of countless sermons and stories that have inspired Bible lessons from childhood to adulthood. But Scripture also contains a supporting cast of ordinary men and women often overlooked in Bible study. These lesser-known characters deserve accolades for their contribution to God's redemptive story. In a three-part series, Don Wilkerson shares the impact of those less known in the Bible, both named and unnamed. These not-so-familiar characters are brought to life in short but thought-provoking chapters with lessons that remind us that God often uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways to build His kingdom. For those seeking discipleship material for personal growth, The Impact of Ordinary People will aid individual and small group Bible study. This three-part series is also a helpful resource for pastors and Christian leaders to develop unique and one-of-a-kind sermons.
