Product Description
Our world is in desperate need of bold, passionate men of integrity. Yet such men aren't born, they're built, shaped and formed by God to enrich their families, church, and community. But what does this process look like? And how do we get started?
The answers are found in the story of Joseph, a humble shepherd who overcame tremendous odds to become an influential leader. It's here we discover the process that creates true men of God, where He works
Providentially, supplying everything we need in our journey
Strangely, often in ways that we won't understand
Slowly, building our patience and trust
God Built explores the defining spiritual process that makes men of God. You'll uncover the Biblical pattern for growth, gain insights into common frustrations and difficulties, and get equipped for the journey ahead.
Surrender yourself to Him. And become a man that's built to last.

Great perspective on lifes journey!
I have come to appreciate Steve Farrar's many books over the years. As a Senior Pastor, I have always found him to be thoroughly biblical. As a Pastor I have benefited from his many contemporary illustrations. This book, the first in a series looks at the life of Joseph. The overarching theme is God is sovereign...and He knows where we are no matter how difficult the journey.
I have everything Steve has ever written....when I see a new title by him, I pull it off the shelf and head to the register...no questions asked! I will say that up to this point... "Tempered Steel" is my all time favorite book of his...and in my opinion the best book I have ever read for understanding the valley's that we all must pass through!
This new book, God built has been so refreshing....so grab one and put it in your cart...you will be glad you did!

Review for God Built
Brief Summary: Mr. Farrar takes an in-depth look at the life of Joseph, a man who had to overcome immense odds before becoming an instrumental leader for God's kingdom and ultimately a leader for Egypt. From this spring board, Mr. Farrar applies the principles from Joseph's life to our lives reminding us that God is in control of all situations at all times.
Positive Elements: I personally enjoyed reading some of the short biographies of hero's from our nation's past and seeing how God worked through these men's life to forged them into the men he desired them to be. There were several "gems" in this book that makes it worth while read.
The life of Joseph explained and how God works in our lives
This book is an excellent resource for understanding the way God works in our lives. The author uses the life of Joseph to explain how God uses our experiences, (especially the bad) and turns them into good for us. It is a very helpful and reassuring book to read and remember that even when life appears to us to be going all wrong, God IS in control and uses our negative experiences for our good and to show His Glory. This book has helped me personally gain a deeper understanding of how God works in our lives, even when He seems far away. I have recommended it to my friends who are going through tough times right now.
