Life In Egypt

Spend a year in the company of the ancient Egyptians, during the twenty-sixth and final year of the reign of Amenhotep II (c.1400 BC), which saw a royal transition bringing Thutmose IV to the throne of Upper and Lower Egypt. Following the Egyptian calendar year, which was divided into three seasons (inundation, sowing and harvest), we will meet a farmer and his family, an embalmer, an artisan, a royal physician, a priest and even a royal wife as they live their lives in Thebes and Memphis during the eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom in this year in ancient Egyptian history.

Have you inherited a legacy of broken people and relationships in desperate need of grace and transformation? Many people live in daily bondage to their dysfunction, paralyzed by the fear, anxiety, or guilt it brings. Unwittingly, we become prisoners to our dysfunction and perpetuate its impact to the next generation. Dysfunction is almost unavoidable in a world like ours. Yet we still must find a way to survive in this world and thrive spiritually, even as we navigate all the pitfalls. This is why the biblical story of Joseph is so relevant for us today.

Ancient Egypt wasn't all pyramids, sphinxes and gold sarcophagi. For your average Egyptian, life was tough, and work was hard, conducted under the burning gaze of the sun god Ra.

This book investigates the lives of historical Believers so that Christians today can gain inspiration and lessons from the unique part they played in the tapestry of life. Obviously, the Believers covered in this book were psychologically imprinted, or perhaps I could say, brainwashed by their contemporary cultures. But how should a modern Christian analyze the attitudes and actions of historical Christians?
