Life Of Prince Moses

How can the struggles of a great biblical figure help you to improve your life today? To help us cope with the burdens of our own "Egypts," author Levi Meier brings to life the struggles, failures, and triumphs that reveal the human side of Moses, a central figure in Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions. Engaging, empowering and insightful, Moses--The Prince, the Prophet shows how personal struggle and perseverance create a foundation for liberation and change while teaching us about ourselves--our role in life, our struggles and our relationship with God. More than a biography, Moses--The Prince, the Prophet is a personal guide to growth for each of us. It explores a life intertwined with the story of a people--from the Israelite Exodus from Egypt and the birth of a new nation, to the Divine revelation at Mount Sinai. Author Levi Meier--chaplain, clinical psychologist, and rabbi--knows how people struggle for healing and meaning in their lives. He brings the drama of these events from biblical history into today to show the very human side of Moses--a person who, like ourselves, experienced self-doubt, fear, suffering, failure and success. Through examining Moses's experiences and the common threads they share with ours, we are taught lessons for our lives. Drawing on the stories in the Book of Exodus, midrash (finding contemporary meaning from ancient Jewish texts), the teachings of Jewish mystics, modern texts and psychotherapy, Meier offers new ways to create our own path to self-knowledge, self-fulfillment and self-actualization--and face life's difficulties head-on.

Moses is probably the most important figure in the Old Testament of the Bible. Born into a Hebrew family, he was rescued from a cruel death and raised in the court of the Pharaoh. But after killing an Egyptian, he fled into the desert. Many years later, God appeared to him in the form of a burning bush. He ordered Moses to go back to Egypt and lead the Hebrews out of bondage and into the Promised Land. It wasn t easy. The Hebrews spent many years wandering in the desert, during which time Moses received the Ten Commandments twice. He smashed the stone tablets on which they were inscribed the first time because the Hebrews had begun worshiping a golden calf during his absence. Despite all the difficulties and the dangers, Moses determined leadership finally brought his people to the Promised Land. He died before he could accompany his fellow Hebrews into their new home.

The man we call Moses was an Egyptian prince and a Cushite husband and king. He was the Adoptive son of a Scythian Prince; his second wife was a Mideanite; and he is credited with saving the Egyptians, the Irish, the Cushites, the Gauls, the Jews, and the Egyptians during his lifetime. He did all this while converting a million enslaved people into a fighting Army that could not be beat. Even giants could not withstand their might. Moses also had a huge friend during all of this named Job. Most only know a tiny portion of how this man changed so very many things. It's time to see the complete picture. Moses was a man of God, but he also was king of the Cushites for over 20 years and was a great general for many years and his life is so entwined in the development of our history that not learning about him is a travesty. The Egyptians gave him the royal name of Moses that was adopted by over 25 rulers and the Jews called him by that name to show their respect for the Theban Egyptians. There are some things you may not have been told. It's now time to find out about Moses.

Explores a life intertwined with the story of a people--from the Israelite Exodus from Egypt and the birth of a new nation, to the Divine revelation at Mount Sinai.

Few people have had a greater impact on our lives-and our concept of God-than Moses. His unlikely start in life was guided by God, as was his mission to deliver Israel from bondage. During that mission, Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, became Israel's first and greatest prophet, and gave to them the Ten Commandments and the law that Jews still follow today.
