In this eagerly anticipated third volume of the Genesis Trilogy, Madeleine L'Engle takes us on a new jouney. And It Was Good reflected on the marvel of new beginnings; A Stone for a Pillow tells the story of Jacob, one of the Bible's earliest pilgrims, and follows his, and Madeleine's, inner and outer journeys.
In Sold Into Egypt, we trace a new journey, that of Jacob's favored younger son, Joseph--a journey on many levels: the abduction from Canaan country to pagan Egypt with its slavery and sophistication, from poverty to riches, from insignificance to the power of privilege and leadership, from the foolish arrogance of youth to the seasoned wisdom of maturity, from parochial narrowness to the authentic human-ness which comes with hard lessons learned and relationships restored.
Madeleine L'Engle joins Joseph on this journey as she herself moves through grief. With the loss of her beloved husband, she traverses the barren desert of bereavement. And just as Yahweh was Joseph's strong companion in the desert journey, in the house of Potiphar, in prison, and in his rise to power, so God was with the author of this book and, she assures us, he will be with us as we, too, move toward the human-ness of true maturity. --from the book jacket
