What possible relevance does the book of Exodus have to me?
You’ve probably never seen a burning bush, have never parted your bathwater and walked through the middle or have never been to Mount Sinai, let alone heard God speaking from thunder on the top of it.
This book unpacks the message and meaning of the book of Exodus. In the authors’ own words, ‘We want to share with you why we think it means what it does, how we came to our understanding of the verses, what discoveries we made. Rather than a Hollywood movie, this is going to be more like the how-they-made-the-movie footage.’ Discover the message of this Old Testament book using tools which help you ‘dig deeper’.
The Dig Deeper books are a cross between a sermon (but showing a bit more of the preacher’s work behind the scenes), a commentary (but often more humorous than that) and an interactive workbook (there are a few ‘over to you’ moments). Each book uses the same set of ‘tools’ – context, structure, repetition, Bible timeline and so on – that will train you in how to read the Bible better for yourself. The Dig Deeper books invite you to read the Bible well with a range of tools. Find out more here: https://digdeeper.tools
