The Life of Moses (The Smart Guide to the Bible Series)

Few people have had a greater impact on our lives--and on our concept of God--than Moses.

His unlikely start in life was guided by God, as was his mission to deliver Israel from bondage. During that mission, Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, became Israel's first and greatest prophet, and gave to them the Ten Commandments and the law that Jews still follow today.

Features include:

• How to be smart about the power of Moses's mission and relationship with God
• Moses's impact on the church and current events
• Understanding events from Genesis through Deuteronomy
• God's calling and equipping
