Great Lives: Moses: A Man of Selfless Dedication (Great Lives from God's Word) (Great Lives Series)

Like ALWAYS, you taught me a lot. I really enjoyed reading, learning, and sharing what I've learned to others. I thank you and JESUS for opening my eyes to HIS WORD.

I love the writings of Charles Swindoll. His wisdom, his knowledge and most of all his intuitiveness to God make the lives of the Bible greats relevant to my life today. I found my self having trouble putting this book down. Truly worth your time to read.

By FAR, the best book in his Great Lives series. I've read them all several times. The reason Moses is the best, is the lessons, insights, and life applications that Chuck draws out of a story that you've likely heard and read several times. If you haven't read this book, I would highly recommend it, although any of the Great Lives books are good to revisit for personal study, sermons, or Bible study material.My favorite part was Chapter 5: "The Desert: School of Self-Discovery." In this chapter, Chuck highlights how we all go through desert seasons where God seeks to train us up, similar to Moses 40 years in the wilderness of Midian and Mt. Sinai. Chuck endearingly calls this God's "Wilderness University" or "Desert University," and describes the 4 "majors" that God provides in his curriculum, as he trains up a man or woman of God. Chuck reuses these themes in ALL of his Great Lives series and applies them to David, Elijah, Esther, etc.The following "majors" or life lessons are:1) Obscurity- God uses obscurity to break down our pride/ego, remove our desire to "be in the limelight," and to be humble/willing to be used by Him2) Time/Waiting- God uses time to grow our patience and reliance on Him3) Solitude- God uses solitude, to give us time to reflect, remove busyness from our lives, and to develop our ability to stand for God, even when the "crowd" or others don't.4) Discomfort- God uses discomfort to develop our ability to tolerate hardship and "be content in all things" as Paul says in the New Testament.

A gift

God did not choose Moses to lead His people because of his pedigree in Egyptian royal setting and neither did He call him to lead because of his hapless background as Jewish kid living in the land that was ready to swallow as a whole; He chose him because of his heart to do His will with endurance though laced with imperfections but steadfast to succeed.

Many life lessons are included with this scripture

I love how this book explains Moses' life in a way that I can relate. The biblical reference is also spot on.

This was another great work in the Great Lives series. Moses'faith and dedication are contagious. I would recommend each book in this series.

This book has kept me spellbound. It is excellent and I recommend it as a very good read.Applying the recommended parts to once life is recommended.

Spoke to my situation. Very encouraging

My husband like this serie a lot!

The detail of the life of moses is very revealing and this book tells all. It also exposes the debatable points for you to do further research.

What a writer this man is, really enjoying this book and being challenged by it
