MEANWHILE examines the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis, and shares how we can thrive in our God-given callings and purpose, even in the challenging, unsettling seasons of our lives. She shares, “I hope people are inspired when they look to the life of Joseph. That they will be reminded that God is intentionally, powerfully moving in the meanwhiles of our lives.”
An impressive array of thought leaders are endorsing MEANWHILE, including:

“Seasoned Bible teacher Carol McLeod invites us to put ourselves in Joseph’s shoes as we walk out our own “meanwhile” tests of faith. She guides us to dream boldly…beyond the weariness of waiting and the uncertainty of the unknown. In Joseph, we find the courage to live expectantly in God’s timing and confidently in God’s goodness.” – Angela Donadio
“God is with us in every meanwhile in life and this book is the instruction manual.” – Kathleen Cooke
“When we experience Joseph’s story, it’s encouraging to know that are aren’t alone when we are in a season of ‘meanwhile’ in our lives,” shares Carol. Like many of us, Joseph was a victim: of circumstances, of family dysfunction, of slavery, of unfair accusations, of sexual harassment. However, he still walked in his destiny. “Joseph’s story parallels many of our stories. The choices of others created hardships that were out of his control. Through every painful ‘meanwhile,’ Joseph was able to wholeheartedly know and rest on God’s promise of better things to come, and grew into his God-ordained destiny.”
