Book excerpt: We tend to look for a "secret formula" for success in the kingdom, but there is only a journey. God advances His purposes through people that He forms by His processes. One of those people was Joseph. He was sent out ahead of the activity of God in his generation so that he could lead others in an hour of transition. He was fashioned for a leadership assignment that he could not yet see. God tested and formed him in pits and prisons so that he could stand in the palace of the king. His journey is a prototype of how God prepares pioneers for seasons of global transition. Right now, we are standing on the shore, watching the tidal waves of great revival, great harvest, and great trouble unlike the earth has ever seen, swell on the horizon. God is interviewing men and women for assignments that will span the next twenty and thirty years to prepare the Church for what is coming. Odds are, you are in that interview process right now! In this book, R.A. Martinez walks through the seven seasons of Joseph's life that God used to form him into a pioneer who could carry the weight of the dream fulfilled. Each season on The Joseph Journey is designed with divine purpose, including lessons and tests, to prepare you to carry out God-sized assignments in the days ahead!
