Brothers (Love Inspired Large Print)
YA?A story of jealousy, hate, revenge, deceit, forgiveness, and love. Many readers will be familiar with the basic plot: Joseph is the vizier of Egypt, and his 10 brothers come to buy grain due to the famine in Israel. Hunt deftly reviews the Biblical details of what has happened prior to this point and from there intersperses her own story as the brother Simeon becomes the central figure. His character is especially well developed, realistically displaying so many different emotions toward members of his family. As teens are frequently misfits in their own families, they will identify with the conflicts that Simeon has until he hears the Voice of God, finally matures, and forgives Jacob, his father, for seemingly loving only Joseph and Benjamin. Simeon's friendship with Mandisa, a maid in Joseph's household, provides a secondary plot against which to portray his character changes. Both Old and New Testament Scriptures are occasionally cited in this entertaining, fast read.?Claudia Moore, W. T.
