"The response to the awards has been extremely gratifying," said project director Michael Reagan, "almost 7500 essays from 97 countries worldwide."

"Planning the Christmas Pageant ... no one wants to be Joseph. North suggests that in life there aren't enough Josephs ... a message that people of all faiths or no religious persuasion can appreciate."
The Advocate, Louisiana

"...a wonderful read: touching, pointed, humorous and helpful. ... As a story linking a world we all nearly remember even though it's so far from what we find ourselves in now, it's truly impressive."
David F. Bright,
Professor Emeritus of Classics and Comparative Literature, Emory University


"I work in an environment where single parenting, 99% of women, is the norm. 'Who Will Be Joseph?' brings to light one of the largest barriers facing these children: lack of role models. Well put Ms. North!       Marie, Saskatoon, Sask.


"Thank you so much ... The style is so simple and sincere and appeals to the heart as well as to the mind.
I will be sharing it with others."

When you are planning the Christmas Pageant it seems that no one wants to be Joseph.



Who Will Be Joseph? is the story of a man whose rich, largely hidden life was like Joseph's motivated by love that led him to unexpected destinations and decisions.


The story is told by his granddaughter, author Esther North who did much of her growing up following her grandfather around a Prairie farm, listening to his stories and learning to see the wonder of God in all things.


The chapbook format makes this timeless story a wonder-full gift for any occasion ... and it's about the price of a greeting card!
