From Prince to Prophet is the third book in The Crown Series, and it's about the life of Moses. Most of us know him as the one to whom God gave the Ten Commandments. But God also gave him responsibilities, authorities, and privileges that few men have ever been given.
Moses was raised as royalty, educated to the highest standards, honored as a heroic soldier and elected to be heir to Pharaoh's throne. But God took Moses away from it all and put him in the wilderness where He prepared him for the greatest task of leadership this world has ever known. History is amazing because it teaches us what happened in the past that got us to where we are today. And Moses played a major role in the history of the Jewish nation, and every person who loves the Lord knows that Moses was part of God's divine plan for salvation!
We learned in the previous book, From Slave to Hero, how God worked with Joseph to bring his family through the famine and give them a new temporary home in Goshen, which is in Egypt. This was the beginning of the Jewish nationand they grew in number to become a large nation. But things changed over the years! When Joseph and the Pharaoh both died, the new Pharaohs that followed went back to hating the children of Jacob, who is also called Israel. So they were enslaved for almost 400 years, at which time they were in danger of being killed off so that there would be no more Israel.
But God's timing is perfect! Moses was born and chosen by God to save the Israelite people. His job was hard, but he loved God and was obedient to Him. We can see the relationship that Moses shared with God and the power that God demonstrated to the people through him.
This book touches on the highlights of the life of Moses, yet there is so much more in the Bibledetails that will help you to see how God worked through this man to save the children He loved. I hope that this book will inspire you to dig into the Bible and learn everything about Moses. This will help you to better understand the history of the Jewish nation and the love that God has for them and for all those who love Him and are part of His family.
As all the books in this series, this book is for readers of all ages who want to know God and understand His love for us. Each book focuses on a specific character, and each has an underlying message for the reader. The theme of this book is humility.
