In every life, there are challenges. If you want to live and overcome your challenges, it's possible. The life of Joseph is the triumph of man above his circumstances. Joseph faced the same challenges that you face. He did not allow his circumstances to make him a victim. Joseph was a dreamer. His dreams painted pictures that his siblings did not want to see and so the dreams caused chaos in his family. They became the breathing ground for all the challenges Joseph faced in his life. Joseph went from favor in his home to disfavor in Egypt. Joseph overcame the challenges in his life through a life changing relationship with God. If you are struggling in your relationships, there is hope. As you look at Joseph’s life, you will discover that you too can relate to the people who were present in Joseph’s life. You will meet the parent who sowed seeds of discord in the lives of his children. The siblings who refused to celebrate when good things happen in your life. Then there are those like Potiphar’s wife whose mission is to cause you to compromise your integrity. He even met with one who forgot his kindness. In the end he forgave his brothers from a pure heart. In spite of all these things, Joseph never gave up. He could not survive his life in Egypt without making changes. Joseph never allowed his pain to prevent him from being honorable. He worked with excellence wherever life took him. As a result, in the worst of circumstances, his integrity and work ethic were always on display. One day Pharaoh needed Joseph's wisdom so he sent for Joseph while he was in prison. Joseph's reward for years of working with excellence was his address changed from prison to palace. You can overcome the challenges in your life and rise to the top.

This book is written for all of the women and men that are already incarcerated and for those who are getting ready to take a journey to prison. So many times we wonder how could I have gotten myself into this mess or why me? My answer to you is why not you? A person sentenced to a term in prison, can either do their time or let their time do them. Although, you feel what’s the use, I have no control over anything that happens. I disagree; your control lies in the Master’s Hands. It’s not so much your going to prison, but it is what you do while you are in prison. Women and men alike go to prison with the mentality I’m bad or I can make it through this, but not so. I’m sure you have heard the saying, make the money, don’t let the money make you, well the same it is with prison. Do your time, don’t let the time do you, because whether you believe it or not, time can and will do you. How do I know? I am glad you asked. Anyone that goes to prison whether guilty or innocence, once they are released and return back to prison or if they are bitter and not better; guess what, they did not do the time the time did them.
