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 learned 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!
The Good Book series was recommended by a retired minister and our group is now on its third book. All have been excellent, enabling us to think without pushing a particular 'party line' as some studies do. We like the definitions and the timelines that save a lot of struggling to follow. My only concern is the length. Over time we have skimmed over some of the 'Explore more' sections, but we do feel we are missing out. I completely endorse the suggestion that there should be more studies with less content in each, as it is a shame not to follow everything up. But they are excellent both for understanding a Bible book, and for showing how it fits into the overall pattern of God's work.
