Life in the Wilderness: Israel's Journey from Egypt to Canaan

LIFE IN THE WILDERNESS
Israel's Journey from Egypt to Canaan

After their dramatic deliverance from Egypt, the people of Israel faced years of testing, provision, and transformation in the wilderness. Life in the Wilderness explores what it was like for the Israelites to journey through deserts, mountains, and barren lands on their way to the Promised Land. It was in this setting that God gave His law, provided daily bread from heaven, and shaped a nation for His covenant purposes.

Drawing from Scripture, archaeology, and historical insights, this book reveals the challenges and lessons of Israel's wilderness experience. From their camps and rituals to their struggles with faith and obedience, the wilderness was both a place of hardship and of God's presence.
