Resumen del Editor

Let my people go....

A plea has been made in behalf of the children of Israel. Now comes the epic climax years in the making - the final showdown between two of the most powerful men in history - one fueled by pride, the other guided by the word of God.

Moses has received an extraordinary call from the Lord: he is to lead the exodus of the Hebrew people out of Egypt, ending generations of bondage. And he must return to the land of his birth to boldly petition a man he does not want to challenge...or lose to: Ramses - pharaoh of Egypt. Ramses, harboring years of feeling betrayed by his best friend, is determined to stop Moses no matter the cost. He will not yield, even as a dark veil of plagues and pestilence descends over the land of Egypt.

What follows is a powerful chronicle of the struggles of the children of Israel as they traverse uncharted territory, both physically and spiritually. Amid the horrific catastrophes devastating their land and through the dramatic events that follow, the Hebrews must face their fears and their faltering faith. For even in the darkest of times, there are manifestations of the Lord’s constant care to inspire their hope for a bright future.

I'd Love To See It Rewritten/Updated

Jason Tatom's constant taking of breathes was extremely distracting making a huge deficit of an otherwise good performance. I sing for audiences, so I know that can be handled differently.

First the good.... Moses's parents Amram and Jochebed are still living and BithiYaH marries Mered as Scripture says. Most books about Moses seem to think killing off his parents is somehow necessary. The description of the Plagues is very well done. I didn't listen to the first 2 books in the series but the additional characters like Pentu and Catu seem appropriate and well thought out. Love that they took Joseph's bones. Never seen that in any other book like this.

Now for the things that took away from the story. (1) Each time the timeline that Scripture lays out was rushed through, timing got weird. Two days became 1 day or even 3 days, often within the same sentence. Whoever edited those segments should have read them aloud to someone else or listened to this Audible book...then these sequence mistakes would have been caught. (2) Aaron's wife's name was Elisheba (ie Elizabeth). This is who John the Baptist's mother was named after. Also taking away Aaron's 4 adult sons leaves Salome/Elisheba without help when Aaron needed to be with Moses "about the Father's business." (3) Passover clearly isn't understood. The 3 days that the Lamb was kept inside the house before it was to be slaughtered was to endear that lamb to the family, making the sacrifice mean sooo much more, a way to help us understand how YHWH felt about the loss of the life of HIS Precious Son, our Saviour. Because this timing was ignored, everything else, including BithiYaH's leaving the palace had to be unnecessarily rushed. This was especially strange since one character's daughter had a "favorite lamb" mentioned within the same contextual time frame. (4) Never Seeing the Egyptians Again becomes a LIE if Moses, Aaron and several others spent time from Sunrise to Sunset throwing bodies of Egyptians back into the sea. Somehow Aaron ends up asleep during this juncture in another weird time slip. (5) I'd like to have the author rewrite this story after watching a couple Messianic Jewish Passover services where the connection of the matzah, blood on threshold (becomes a bloody cross) and afikomen are explained. Jonathan Cahn, Monte Judah and Mark Biltz have wonderful vids on YouTube that explain these very things. In fact Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries has Wonderful teachings on the "Feast Of The Lord" that can be watched together on DVD or free on YouTube. In order to write about this timeframe in Biblical history and gain a better understanding of how and why Jesus/YaHshua is called "Our Passover Lamb" will enhance your love for HIM and the beauty of just how much love HE showed for us in the doing. I know my understanding skyrocketed, taking me back to the strength of my first love.

All that said, if these changes can be made, I'd happily read this book again..even start from book 1.
