Book Cover & Preview Text
Moses was a man whose faith was lit by the flame of God's Spirit and whose character was molded in the fiery crucible of the desert. Moses became a leader like no other. He called the Israelites to follow God in a world of oppression and adversity, as he challenged Pharaoh and the greatest world empire of the day. Moses led the Israelites from slavery to freedom; from bondage to promise; from defeat to victory. And along the way, Moses faced challenges beyond measure in life and leadership.
No individual more experienced the making of a leader and the trials of leadership in scripture than Moses. No individual better expresses the frustrations and fulfillment of leadership than Moses. No leader has faced more challenges and obstacles than Moses; and no leader has accomplished more through God’s power and grace than Moses. His life is a rich resource to be mined for a treasure of insights in life and leadership.
Embark on a 40-day journey following in the footsteps of this remarkable man of faith, and take up the challenge to grow personally and spiritually in life and leadership. Learn the lessons of life and leadership that brought Moses from the baby in a basket of bulrushes to the bulwark of faith on the battlefront. God called Moses from the brink of death to the pinnacle of power in Pharaoh’s house of privilege. Then from the pinnacle of power and privilege, Moses fled to the humble and desolate sands of the desert wilderness. And then after 40 years of being molded by God’s Spirit, Moses responded to the call to lead the Israelites from slavery to freedom, from defeat to victory, from bondage to promise--not because of his abilities, but because of the transforming power of faith in God and the promises of God.
Journey with Moses as he moves from bondage to promise. Watch as Moses is humbly transformed from anger to meekness. Follow as we trace his steps from failure with anger, and fearfulness of leadership, to allowing God to transform him step by step as he experienced the presence and power of God and discovered God’s plan and purpose for his life. Witness how Moses was transformed as he learned to trust God facing challenges and adversity. Let your faith be strengthened as you experience how Moses grew in faith as he faced Pharaoh and the challenges of the wilderness and learned to trust God, leading the people to promise through the power of a loving and faithful God.
