From Israel's suffering in Egypt to its miraculous release from slavery because of the plagues suffered by the Egyptians, from the first Passover which saved the Israelite first-born to the dramatic crossing of the Red Sea and the supply of food and water throughout their rebellious journey in the wilderness of the Sinai, the book of Exodus provides the believer with a front row seat of a time when God demonstrated His great power over powerful human forces to achieve His plan for His chosen people. Exodus is full of the testimony of those prepared, however reluctantly, to serve God and to be used of Him to do works of incredible daring against the most improbably odds. This book makes the account of the exodus of Israel from Egypt come alive, and identifies the lessons painfully learned by the people at that time that can be of great benefit to people living today, emphasizing as it does the power of God to rescue those overpowered with grief and suffering from the oppressive and powerful forces within the world. There is much speculation concerning many of the events contained within Exodus, which detract from all that God in His wisdom is seeking to teach people of every generation. Yet if this book is studied from the standpoint of it being God's word to mankind, the positive and life changing message contained within it has the potential to effectively transform the lives of individuals. Certainly that has been the experience of many who have read this book when it was first sent out around the world attached to emails. It was also translated into Spanish for South America and into Chinese.
