The Ancient Houses of Egypt James Taiwo

The poetic telling of the story of Joseph in an easy-to-read script format


"This poetic telling is written in an easy-to-read script format that shines a light on the simple, age-old truth of how faith, love and devotion, even in the hands and heart of one unassuming person, can move the heavens and the earth."-Clara Banks' Review


The entertaining Biblical tales of Joseph in Broadway shows and Hollywood films of epic scale offer so much more, especially in these troubled times. This book tells it all!

A sweeping and poetic telling of the poignant biblical stories of how the Israelites came to be under the yoke of the Egyptians and how they were freed from slavery by Moses.

In a script-like format that can be read aloud in groups, The Ancient Houses of Egypt presents the tales of two central Old Testament characters. First, we weave the story of Joseph, with his many-colored coat, his brothers' treachery and his bondage and ascension to glory. Then, we move to the saga of Moses, with his mother's sacrifice, his rise to power, his struggle with and acceptance of his lineage and the deliverance of his people.

This retelling reworks these familiar stories to focus on Joseph and Moses' devotion, faith and obedience to God in the face of scorn, mockery and threat of death; their steadfast belief and willingness to obey brought God to their people and their people to freedom and prosperity.
