Good day!

I am looking for a book named "Jacob * Joseph" (Bible related). The
one I have is in Russian. However, I have a feeling such a book must
be available in English as well. The book says noting about the
publishing house and doesn't have any dates. The author is "E.
Moderson" (possibly Ernst Modersohn).

My Google searches did not produce any useful results. I am looking
for a store or a web site that sells such a book, in English.

Thank you for your time,
Eugene

I don't claim to be an "advanced searcher" but I gave this a try. 
There are no listings for your book in the online catalogs of the
Library of Congress, the British Library, or the University of
California library.  A search of the Deutsche Buecherei Leipzig
catalog did not return any results for Modersohn that had a title that
combined Jacob (Jakob) and Joseph (also tried Josef spelling). 
However, he is credited with two separate titles on Jacob and Joseph. 
Could it be possible that the Russian version combined the two books?

I also checked the following used book sites:  

http://www.trussel.com/f_books.htm
http://www.bestwebbuys.com/books/
http://www.bookfinder.com/
http://www.abebooks.com/
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/103-3156785-4524610

The entries I found in the Leipzig library are as follows:

Titel: 	Und Gott war mit Joseph : Das Geheimnis d. gesegneten Lebens /
Ernst Modersohn. [Hrsg. vom Evang.-Kirchl. Gnadauer Gemeinschaftswerk]
Verfasser: 	Modersohn, Ernst
Ausgabe: 	2. Aufl.
Verleger: 	Berlin : Evangelische Verl.-Anst.
Erscheinungsjahr: 	1966

Titel: 	Los vom Ich? : Wie Gott aus e. Jakob e. Israel machte ; bibl.
Betrachtungen / von Ernst Modersohn
Verfasser: 	Modersohn, Ernst
Ausgabe: 	Überarb. Aufl.
Verleger: 	Wuppertal ; Zürich : Brockhaus
Erscheinungsjahr: 	1988

Unfortunately, I did not locate these titles in English.

Dear Friend!

Thank you very much for your discovery. I am very grateful and I
really mean it. You are most likely correct: the Russian version
combines the two books together since they are quite related by
subject.

I am slowly going through the used book websites that you have
provided. It almost looks like this author was never actively
translated to any other languages other than German. Very sad
indeed... However, I am not giving up yet.

Again, thank you very much for your help. If you are not an Official
Google researcher yet, you should apply for it as soon as they start
accepting people. You are quite skilled.

Eugene
