Exodus: Our Story Too! From Slavery to the
World to the Kingdom of God by Patricia Said Adams is a Biblical study
guide that offers deep insight into God’s will for all His children. This book
reveals a template that God still uses in our redemption, sanctification, and
consecration to Him in all our ways. This process of slavery to the world’s
ways and freedom in Christ is often a journey that takes place in the
believers’ minds and hearts resulting in holiness. Relevant and insightful,
this is a spiritual journey to maturity, from the shedding of the old ways into
His the new ways– into His Kingdom where faith and trust abide in God alone. In
this new book, one will discover the reasons for the wilderness experiences, as
the author highlights it as an alignment with His will that brings blessings,
rest, peace and God-given purpose.
In the Exodus story, we see the Israelites’ cry for freedom
from the tyranny of the Egyptians. God hears their cries and sends a Deliverer,
Moses. Depicting a step-by-step of awakening, purging and union to God
that will take place through the forty years in the desert, the author relates
Scripture in such a way that presents this template to spiritual maturity and
faith.
Written to teach, instruct and encourage believers through
the process, readers see that God brings the Israelites to the Promised Land,
but not before, the original generation has died off. Why? Lack of faith and
unbelief, no doubt a sad story! With that in mind, the author highlights Joshua
and Caleb. Those chosen, and who would believe God for all that God had
promised to the Israelites. Therefore, the book uncovers the book of Joshua
giving insight and direction to this new generation that would enter The
Promised Land.
The desert experiences are to awaken our spirits, refine us,
and prosper us to a new land as we believe in His Kingdom that becomes visible
in the here and now. Learning to abide and completely trust is where His will
becomes our wills. His Word becomes alive to us and we can live in His
promises. This is the Promised Land of rest, overflowing with milk and honey.
In this place all our needs are met and God is the center. The book relates how
we can discover His Kingdom on Earth.
The author explains to readers that, “To all the
questions and yearning in our lives, there is but one answer: God. All our
longings cannot be filled by more and more material stuff or the perfect job or
a beautiful wife or husband or enough money—that is all that that the culture
offers us for fulfillment. If you’ve tried to find fulfillment through any or
all of these paths, you have been left with longing for something more and have
been greatly disappointed.” Giving practical Biblical advice, that include keen
scriptural interpretations and many testimonies of God’s divine intervention
and process in others’ lives, this book is an enjoyable read into the heart of
God as
the Israelites journey through the wilderness led by God.
