"Read, better yet re-read this book! Lessing’s alliterative, energy infused style compels the reader to see his/her story in the story of Moses… Like few others can, Lessing mines the depth and breadth of the text and delivers caches of precious gems for scholar and “average” Christ follower alike."

—Rev. Dr. Brian L. Friedrich, President, Concordia University, St. Paul
