The biblical character of Joseph dreamt two God inspired dreams at the age of seventeen. His dreams eventually came true but not without living through a few nightmares first. Repeated traumatic crises shaped and prepared him for His ultimate role in God's plan. Could it be God is doing the same in your life?Illustrated by stories from the author's formative years, in a home marred by mental illness, Mark Barnard traces Joseph's trail of clothing on a journey from woundedness to healing and from nightmare to dream come true.
