Coming Out Of Egypt

Coming Out of Egypt is an exodus out of idolatry--the idolatry of ancient Egypt and the idolatry that permeates the church today. Its goal is to make the exodus come alive for the reader--not to just read about the exodus but to experience the exodus, not to just read about the Passover but to experience the Passover, to catapult the reader back through time like a time traveler entering a time portal. The goal of Coming Out of Egypt is to experience redemption, not just to read about redemption, to experience redemption from Pharaoh at the Reed Sea, and witness Yeshua's resurrection.

"This is the story of my early years. I wrote Awakening: A Personal Sojourn at the request of some of my children, and those who had heard the stories. This is the book I never intended or wanted to write, but as my books and messages have been distributed around the world, The Scripture says to “know those who labor among you” (see I Thessalonians 5:12). Those who have been influenced by me deserve to know this. It will explain a lot about who I am for good or bad." —Rick Joyner

Egypt exemplifies everything we want to run from: The chains of depression because I'm not good enough, the prison of sin and addictions because I have made bad choices, the self fulfilling prophecies, because of the degrading words that have been spoken over me. Yes in Egypt there was hopelessness and despair and there seemed to be no way out. Then came Moses and he felt like he had nothing to offer. Yet God used him and the treasures that were hidden in him to set the entire nation of Israel free. Follow me through these pages and let's discover the treasures that are hidden in you. Treasures that can enhance your life and the lives of those you meet along life's highway.We will tap into the attitudes that make us pleasing to God. We will follow the map to becoming the person that only God knows we can become. The map not only directs us through attitudes of the heart and a spiritual walk with the Father but gives hints for enhancing our outward beauty with ideas for fashion, hair, and make-up. Did you get to play dress up as a little girl, twirling around in mom's high heel shoes and looking forward to the day when you could dress like the movie stars and even paint your face with blue eye shadow and red lipstick? If you did, let's reminisce together, waking up that little fairy princess that lives in each of us, and together we will give our image a new boost. If you didn't get to play dress up as a little girl well it is not too late. Hop in buckle up and away we go. We're leaving Egypt and what a joy ride this will be as we search out The New Me!

The Hebrew Scriptures consider the exodus from Egypt to be Israel’s formative and foundational event. Indeed, the Bible offers no other explanation for Israel’s origin as a people. It is also true that no contemporary record regarding a man named Moses or the Israelites generally, either living in or leaving Egypt has been found. Hence, many biblical scholars and archaeologists take a skeptical attitude, dismissing the exodus from the realm of history. However, the contributors to this volume are convinced that there is an alternative, more positive approach. Using textual and archaeological materials from the ancient Near East in a comparative way, in conjunction with the Torah’s narratives and with other biblical texts, the contributors to this volume (specialists in ancient Egypt, ancient Near Eastern culture and history, and biblical studies) maintain that the reports in the Hebrew Bible should not be cavalierly dismissed for ideological reasons but, rather, should be deemed to contain authentic memories.

This richly colored memoir chronicles the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later. In elegant and witty prose, André Aciman introduces us to the marvelous eccentrics who shaped his life--Uncle Vili, the strutting daredevil, soldier, salesman, and spy; the two grandmothers, the Princess and the Saint, who gossip in six languages; Aunt Flora, the German refugee who warns that Jews lose everything "at least twice in their lives." And through it all, we come to know a boy who, even as he longs for a wider world, does not want to be led, forever, out of Egypt.
