Recently I read the historical fiction about Moses’ sister
Miriam. Though fiction it did given insight into the lifestyle of Egyptian
slaves and life in the palace of the Pharaoh. Who can forget the parting of the
Red Sea on the movie screen? As preschooler we learned of Moses in the
bulrushes. Chosen by God, placed in the Egyptian palace to receive an education
which would later allow Moses to return and free the nation of Israel from
slavery. Forty years in the desert God refined Moses into someone He could use.
The pamphlet on Moses was enlightening, especially the information about Egypt
and their culture. The chart comparing Moses with Israel on page 3 and an even
more detailed chart on page 13 on Moses and Christ are very thorough and will
be an excellent resource for bible teachers and students. Moses was someone who
talked with God and was a friend of God; however Moses received a severe
punishment for offending God when Moses struck the rock to produce water. Though
we may never know the reason for God’s severe judgment, page eleven offers several
feasible scenarios. I enjoyed the writers take on this material. The
map is excellent and has six different colored routes of the Exodus and the
possible location of Mt. Sinai. I was given this pdf for my honest opinion in
the review from Rose Publishing.
