What possible relevance does the book of Exodus have to me?
You’ve probably never seen a burning bush, have never parted your bathwater and walked through the middle or have never been to Mount Sinai, let alone heard God speaking from thunder on the top of it.
This book unpacks the message and meaning of the book of Exodus. In the authors' own words, 'We want to share with you why we think it means what it does, how we came to our understanding of the verses, what discoveries we made. Rather than a Hollywood movie, this is going to be more like the how-they-made-the-movie footage.' Discover the message of this Old Testament book using tools which help you 'dig deeper'.
The Dig Deeper books are a cross between a sermon (but showing a bit more of the preacher's work behind the scenes), a commentary (but often more humorous than that) and an interactive workbook (there are a few 'over to you' moments). Each book uses the same set of 'tools' - context, structure, repetition, Bible timeline and so on - that will train you in how to read the Bible better for yourself. The Dig Deeper books invite you to read the Bible well with a range of tools. Find out more here: https://digdeeper.tools

With a light-hearted and personal touch, the authors provide an engaging study guide to the book of Exodus. Encouraging contemporary readers to grapple with this extraordinary account of God's rescue of exploited migrant workers, they offer practical advice on how best to discern the ever-relevant message of this important Old Testament book. For anyone keen to discover God's word afresh, here is an excellent starting point.
Dig Deeper into Exodus takes the 'tools of the Bible-handling trade' out of the toolbox and shows us how to put them to effective use in the book of Exodus. Succinct, accessible, practical and always text-driven, the authors help the Bible teacher plot a straight course through this foundational Bible book. Dig Deeper into Exodus is an excellent resource that should be on every church bookstall and in the hand of every small group leader."
At first glance, you may think this is a curious book: not a commentary, yet containing some great insights into the book of Exodus; not a devotional tool, yet a robust and challenging exposition of the chapters; not a book about technique, yet by applying the Dig Deeper tools it provides a model of how the Bible should be read and understood; not a homiletic manual, yet gold for a preacher or Bible study leader in almost any setting.
