Joseph is among the greatest of the Old Testament heroes. But unlike other Biblical heroes--men like Samson and David--Joseph is not a warrior. His heroism is demonstrated through simple expressions of courage and faith in God. Now, with this new animated film, you can reintroduce your family to Joseph's inspiring story. The tale ends on a note of hope and offers an uplifting moral message to viewers. Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors is one of the twelve programs in the Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible series. This program features: All-new animation, an introduction by Charlton Heston, and "Simon & Gimmel -Your Faithful Guides," two animated characters who lead viewers through the story and make it accessible for all ages.
As the story begins, we learn that the Israelites-under the leadership of Moses-have been wandering the wilderness for forty years. Now, they are about to enter the Promised Land. But Moses will not be going with them. His time has come to join God in Heaven. And so, a young man named Joshua is appointed to take Moses' place. Like Moses, Joshua realizes that nothing can be accomplished without God's help. The Lord rewards Joshua for his faith by revealing a plan that will allow the Israelites to take the city of Jericho. As the action unfolds, we witness a series of divine miracles reminiscent of those which allowed the Israelites to escape from Egypt many years earlier. And eventually, we rejoice with them, as they enter the Promised Land.
