The Exodus is for everyone. An epic story that begins in tragedy, slavery, and oppression leads ultimately to hope, kindness, and new life. While each of us carries a story of oppression, we were created by God to be free and to change the world. Our journeys begin when we agree with God about who we are. Danielle Strickland interweaves scriptural truth with powerful stories of transformation that will free you from the things that enslave you – and free you for the life God has planned for you. It’s time to embark on your own exodus and experience freedom as you have never known it before.
