One in a Million

Journey to Your Promised Land

By: Priscilla Shirer

Narrated by: Lisa Renee Pitts

Length: 8 hrs and 8 mins

Publisher's summary

The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God's chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God's invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two actually entered it!

Similarly, modern day Christians often hear and understand the promises of God each Sunday morning at church but then rarely choose to experience them in everyday life. In One in a Million, Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer invites us to change that pattern for good, living beyond our circumstances and expecting to see God move in miraculous ways day after day.

Without a doubt, we can find and follow God's purpose for our journey. We can make it to the Promised Land!

Timely book as I enter a new phase of life

In my current life transition, this book was written just for me. Almost everything is what I can relate to now or I tucked it away for what I could be facing in the future. I will listen to this book again again when I am struggling with life and know it will help catapult me to the next level.

The reader had good inflection but I didn't appreciate some of her pronunciations or the weird way she would slow down her speech in an unnatural flow. it was most annoying.

Love

As a new mom, this book blessed me. Thank you for being courageous. God bless.

YADA

Our God is absolutely relational in His approach to us.
Priscilla's book gives of revelation and illuminates that Truth upon of page.
We come to know we are known by our Father.

So encouraging!

Of the two million original Israelites delivered from Egypt given the promise of the land of Canaan, only two entered in. That’s one in a million. They were the only ones who walked into actualized promise, believing that God would do what He said He would do. Why?

Priscilla Shirer draws out the implications of the Exodus events and applies them to modern life. She begins with lavish intimacy, experiencing God, seeing with the two eyes in our own head crazy, impossible things that only God can do. From there, so many things went wrong. Shirer walks through the wilderness as a model for how to experience God’s promises, not just be His child. There is a difference. Not until the final chapters did she look to Joshua and Caleb, those positive examples to follow.

Following God is hard. God asks us to believe crazy hard things, and so often, He asks us to do crazy hard things. Shirer covers a variety of circumstances over the course of several chapters. I was thankful she did this because asking God to relieve you of the irritation of daily monotony is very different than asking God to relieve you of the pain of a lost child, to bring that husband back, or to make the diagnosis disappear.

The thrust of her content, however, was in the choices we make in the wilderness that put us into the category of one in a million followers. This tied in very closely, I found, to the book by Jennie Allen on choices that I read last month. We can choose to complain, back-bite, disobey and wander. Or we can choose to set up camp in the wilderness at the base of God’s mountain. Drive those pegs deep. Enjoy God’s presence while we’re waiting to be delivered. By making choices in the wilderness that demonstrate trust in God such as relinquishing control or guarding our mouths from complaining, we actually begin to experience some relief from certain types of pain in the waiting. For example, those of us with daily irritations that aren’t going away anytime soon (like eating manna every day for 40 years), refusing to complain may sound like cutting off an outlet. Instead, in encourages your mind to not dwell on the things that are so dissatisfying to you during this time.

This was a timely and encouraging read.

Inspired to be a One in a Million

A beautiful and inspiring look at the spiritual growth lessons from the Exodus experience. Well-written and easy to listen to.

Learned a better understanding of my walk with God

I found this book amazing - I keep listening to it over and over.

The Narrator does an excellent job reading it. It is pleasant to listen to.

I have found this book to be so helpful in understanding my walk with God, It encourages me to want more.

To want to be the one in a million that makes it to the promise land.

Definitely a must read if you want more out of your walk with God.

Performance wasn't my fav

It was hard for me to get into this because Inflections were a lot different than when Priscilla reads her books. I really wanted to return the book because of that but I’m hanging in there till the end because they message is something I’m interested in.

Priscilla is a great Bible teacher

I had never read a book by Priscilla Shirer before. Someone recommended this to me, and I’m so glad I read it! Priscilla is an excellent Bible teacher and encouraged me in my faith! This won’t be my last book by her. Highly recommend.

Exactly what I needed

This book is exactly what I need as I travel through my wilderness. It all relates to me, as if Priscilla was speaking directly to me through this audiobook. Great book. Thank you.
