Deliverance

"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still" (Exodus 14:14). Exodus is the story of a God who hears the groaning of His people, breaks the power of the most formidable empire on earth, leads a nation of former slaves through the sea, and then does something even more astonishing: He comes down to live in the middle of their camp.

Deliverance: Reflections on the Book of Exodus walks through all forty chapters of Exodus in fourteen daily readings, drawn from more than a decade of Quiet Time reflections shared at dailyqt.org and Sunday School teaching at First Baptist Church in Dallas. This expanded edition has been rewritten throughout to draw on the full range of voices that have gathered around these readings over the years, woven into a single, readable conversation with the text.

This is not a technical commentary written for seminarians. It is a companion for ordinary believers who want to read Exodus slowly and honestly-including the parts many readers skim or struggle with.

Each chapter includes:

- A close, readable walk through that day's passage, grounded in careful study but written for everyday readers
- Cross-references tracing how the exodus shapes the rest of Scripture, from the Passover lamb to the torn curtain and the tabernacle's fulfillment in Christ
- Honest, even-handed engagement with the book's hardest questions: the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, the plagues and the gods of Egypt, the size of the exodus, the Law of Moses and the Christian, and the regulation of slavery in Israel's law
- Five or six reflection and discussion questions, ideal for personal devotion or small-group Bible study

Whether you are reading Exodus for the first time, leading a Bible study, or continuing the journey begun in *Beginnings*, this book offers fourteen chapters of careful, faithful reflection on the God who delivers His people so that He might dwell among them.
