Synopsis

This is a book for the hurting and the heartbroken.The Bible says that no prophet emerged from Israel like Moses. Called a friend of God, he knew God facetoface. He earned this status through trial and error, through his failures and Gods forgiveness. The Lord refined and remade Moses by giving him many second chances.God works in all of our lives in this way, always offering second chances. His goal for us is not a troublefree life but transformation, to be molded through experience into a faithful, obedient, and refined disciple of Jesus Christ. Such transformation takes time and can be painful, but God knows just what it takes to get us there. He did it with Moses, and He can do it with us.

Goodreads review by Trudy on July 19, 2015

While I did not agree with everything posited by this writer as to Moses life (he certainly went beyond Scripture), I still did find what he wrote challenging. He fleshed out Moses somewhat partly just by taking a step back and imagining Moses as a real person - what it must have been like to have t......more
