Honoring Joseph

Contributed by Davon Huss on Dec 20, 2022

What kind of a man was Joseph? (Material adapted from Leslie Flynn's book, "Christmas Messages", in the chapter called, "The Forgotten Father")

HoHum: There is a forgotten man at Christmas. Poetry, paintings and stories of the nativity treat him minimally, if at all. Few sermons are preached on him. Why is he neglected?

The Joseph Principle

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 22, 2023
