The Hand of God: Finding His Care in All Circumstances

Request Yours

By: Alistair Begg

Few stories declare God’s sovereignty over all circumstances more powerfully than the Bible’s dramatic account of Joseph as recorded in the book of Genesis. His story is one of twists and turns that include jealousy, deceit, slavery, sibling rivalry, and, in the end, forgiveness.

In The Hand of God, Alistair invites readers on a journey through this epic Old Testament narrative. He helps readers discover that they, too, are under God’s providential care. Through life's most challenging trials and greatest triumphs, God is at work in the details, orchestrating all things to work according to His will and purpose.
