Discover who God is and how he triumphs, rescues, restores, guides and rules in this gripping historical story
Part of the Good Book Guides series.
Exodus is the story of a bush on fire that never burns up, an unarmed shepherd facing the most powerful man on earth, a nation walking through a sea, storms, earthquakes and more.
But, as these eight studies show, it is supremely the story of the God who reveals himself, triumphs over his enemies, and rescues, guides, rules, forgives and lives with his people—and who in all this points forward to a still greater, more thrilling act of liberation.

The Good Book Guides have been developed to ensure that each session not only seeks to uncover the meaning of the passage and see how it fits into the big picture of the Bible, but also leads people to apply what they have learnt to their lives. Flexible and practical, the Good Book Guides are ideal for small groups, or individual study.
I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.
The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.
The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!
I used this excellent book for on-line studies for our church during "lock down". Having read reviews I knew that the study was extensive,but better that than not enough.It was relatively easy to precis the content into what was needed and pertinent,and along the way I discovered some revealing insights such as the way in which the Israelites related to God in a very personal way ,the "conversion "of Jethro,and the way in which God took on the judgement of the people when Moses struck the rock. It is a study guide that I will certainly keep and use for future reference.
An excellent study . Tim helps to see so much of the meaning in this book, always finishing with it pointing to Jesus. I have learnt alot in preparing it for my groups. and I get shivers down my back on what it reveals about our amazing God.
This guide is excellent. 8 weeks of study but given the content I found that the 8 week period extended to 12 weeks because of the comprehensive content. This is not a criticism -more of an endorsement. A bonus is the Leaders Guide which is included in the Study. Impressive.
We've been using these studies in our women's Bible study group, and have found them really good and helpful, but there seems to be too much material in each study! Not only is it almost impossible to fit into an hour's study, but it's too much for a lot of people to take in at one go. Today we did half of one study and will do the other half next time, but it's taken us a few weeks to decide to do this. We think that this book would be better if the studies were split into 16 instead of 8, or even 8 studies on Exodus part one and 8 on Exodus part two. The material is so good that it's a shame to try to squash to much in.
