Beloved Son: Joseph and Jesus (PB)

Obedience to God's plan can lead to truly unexpected places. In Beloved Son: Jesus and Joseph, the fifth book in Maura Roan McKeegan's Old and New Series, see the unforgettable story of Joseph's journey, from beloved son to slave and then to liberator of the brothers who betrayed him, alongside Jesus's life, death, and Resurrection. Through Joseph and Jesus, we can learn to trust God, no matter where He leads. See biblical typology—the Old Testament people, symbols, and events that foreshadow the New Testament—come to life in Beloved Son. Ages 7 and up. Maura Roan McKeegan first learned about biblical typology when she was a graduate student in theology. As a teacher, she believed that children would be as fascinated by the connections between the Old and New Testaments as she was—and that, once they had the key, children could unlock countless hidden treasures in Scripture. This belief inspired her to write the award-winning Old and New series of picture books. She is also the author of a number of other Catholic picture books, including Where is Jesus Hidden? and St. Conrad and the Wildfire. Reading aloud with children is her favorite hobby.
