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

Author had written several bivouac books all good reads. Love how it is broken up by individual.

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 Him 2) Time/Waiting- God uses time to grow our patience and reliance on Him 3) 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.

An amazing and soul filled journey! A great classic bringing us to the throne-room of God. Inspiring and challenging. Worth every minute and page.

beautiful and packed very well. I am pleased and would order again.

Like desribed

I would recommend this book to every christian. There is so much thing to learn from this book. It's worth your time!

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.

Paul Pedersen I loved the book! My understanding of MOSES was mostly from the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston. Thank you Charles Swindol for opening my eyes.

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.

Spoke to my situation. Very encouraging

I began by reading Elijah, which is also a part of the Great Lives series, then went on to read every other book in the series. I enjoyed each book and learned a lot from them.

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.

My husband like this serie a lot!
