Your Mess, God's Masterpiece

"Derek Webster leads readers on a soul-searching and spirit-lifting journey seeing ourselves in the life of Joseph. Your Mess, God’s Masterpiece invites you to experience God’s renewing work in your life.” —Dr. Craig Ott, ReachGlobal Chair of Mission at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; author of The Church on Mission

“Self help books continue to fly off the shelves in our broken, divided, and chaotic world. Too often these books offer temporary solutions or impossible results. Derek Webster offers a proven path towards healing and wholeness that offers lasting results we all desperately need.” —Dr. Eric Bryant, pastor at Gateway Church, Austin, TX, author of Not Like Me

“With honesty and transparency, Webster unfolds the story of Joseph for adults looking for relevance in their own narratives, when issues they face seem to take them off track. There are tools here to consider, discuss, and move forward. God's hand in your life is sure and purposeful.” —Lori Pritchard, Christian counselor/psychotherapist  

“One of the Bible's great mini-biographies is about Joseph. What is not often noticed is the nuances of his story that are so common to what we experience. Joseph is us, one might say. Derek Webster, without forcing Joseph's story into some pre-existing mold, takes us on a journey to spiritual health and formation by following the shape of Joseph's life. But neither does Derek force each of us to have Joseph's life. Rather, there is here a profound recognition of the uniqueness of each of us and our need to grow in our faith into the person God made us to be. No matter who you are, something in Joseph's life will speak to you.” —Rev. Canon Dr. Scot McKnight, author of The Jesus Creed and many other books; Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
