The Fullness of Christ: Unfolded in the History of Joseph
Endorsements
“With great pleasure, we offer Octavius Winslow’s devotional treatment of the fascinating history of Joseph and his brothers. Winslow is peculiarly gifted at drawing our minds and hearts toward the Greater Joseph and His brethren. His chapters on Christ revealing Himself to His people, Christ as our brother, and the glory of Christ in heaven are alone worth the price of the book.
As is true of all of Winslow’s writings, this volume is a gem. Representing devotional writing at its finest, it is replete with Christ-centered memorable statements for spiritual edification. Use this book to treasure those sacred truths of Scripture that will mold your thoughts, words, and actions for Christian living.”
—Joel R. Beeke
“Our Jesus, the Elder Brother, centers in Himself infinitely more than all the tender love and sympathy found in His whole Church. It was not necessary that by every possible human sensibility He should be qualified to be the gracious, sympathizing Head of a suffering body, and no truth is brought out in the history of Joseph more luminously, or exquisitely touching and beautiful, as portraying the Lord Jesus Christ than the deep sensibility of Joseph’s nature.”
—Octavius Winslow
