Description
Learn all about God's character through a major event in the history of Israel: the Exodus.
God's people had been in slavery in Egypt for hundreds of years. But God had promised their ancestors that the people of Israel would have their own land someday. So, they cried out to God and he heard them and rescued them.
He used a shepherd and his brother to lead a nation of slaves in opposition to the most powerful ruler of the world's most powerful kingdom.
Homeschool mom and curriculum developer, Danika Cooley, invites readers to know the God who never breaks his promises, who has power over all things, and who rescues his people.

Why Did the Exodus Happen? shares the story of God's faithfulness and an inside look into the Biblical Exodus with plain language / easy-to-understand narrative. This book is written for children, but without dumbing it down. It is informative and exciting. It is a great read-aloud book for the whole family. I love the timeline at the end to help us understand the story better. This is exactly what I look for when adding “living history” books to our library! I own the entire series and recommend them all! The illustrations are great, too!

Have you ever made a promise you failed to keep? Has anyone ever broken their promise to you? Danika Cooley's book Why Did the Exodus Happen? highlights an important truth – God never breaks His promises. Not a single one. It highlights God's faithfulness throughout a difficult time in His people's history. It also shows how God used the Exodus to show people who He is. He demonstrated His faithfulness, power, sovereignty, patience, love and care, and so much more through the events that transpired. And He demonstrated through Passover His desire to save and rescue us. The sacrifice He commanded then foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice Jesus would later make once and for all time. This is an incredible book for helping kids learn about God's faithfulness and His desire to save and rescue all people from their sin so they can live with Him forever.
