Coming Out of Egypt is an exodus out of idolatry--the idolatry of ancient Egypt and the idolatry that permeates the church today. Its goal is to make the exodus come alive for the reader--not to just read about the exodus but to experience the exodus, not to just read about the Passover but to experience the Passover, to catapult the reader back through time like a time traveler entering a time portal. The goal of Coming Out of Egypt is to experience redemption, not just to read about redemption, to experience redemption from Pharaoh at the Reed Sea, and witness Yeshua's resurrection.

Egypt exemplifies everything we want to run from: The chains of depression because I'm not good enough, the prison of sin and addictions because I have made bad choices, the self fulfilling prophecies, because of the degrading words that have been spoken over me. Yes in Egypt there was hopelessness and despair and there seemed to be no way out. Then came Moses and he felt like he had nothing to offer. Yet God used him and the treasures that were hidden in him to set the entire nation of Israel free. Follow me through these pages and let's discover the treasures that are hidden in you. Treasures that can enhance your life and the lives of those you meet along life's highway.We will tap into the attitudes that make us pleasing to God. We will follow the map to becoming the person that only God knows we can become. The map not only directs us through attitudes of the heart and a spiritual walk with the Father but gives hints for enhancing our outward beauty with ideas for fashion, hair, and make-up. Did you get to play dress up as a little girl, twirling around in mom's high heel shoes and looking forward to the day when you could dress like the movie stars and even paint your face with blue eye shadow and red lipstick? If you did, let's reminisce together, waking up that little fairy princess that lives in each of us, and together we will give our image a new boost. If you didn't get to play dress up as a little girl well it is not too late. Hop in buckle up and away we go. We're leaving Egypt and what a joy ride this will be as we search out The New Me!

This richly colored memoir chronicles the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later. In elegant and witty prose, André Aciman introduces us to the marvelous eccentrics who shaped his life--Uncle Vili, the strutting daredevil, soldier, salesman, and spy; the two grandmothers, the Princess and the Saint, who gossip in six languages; Aunt Flora, the German refugee who warns that Jews lose everything "at least twice in their lives." And through it all, we come to know a boy who, even as he longs for a wider world, does not want to be led, forever, out of Egypt.

What if the key to changing your life--and yourself--is already in your hand? So many women struggle with what to do with their daily lives. They feel trapped in everyday drudgery and disappointment, in dull domestic duties, and in mundane jobs they despise. Where is the abundant, purposeful life they were promised? Kari Patterson shows readers the truth: in each unremarkable life lies an opportunity to see, know, love, and be utterly transformed by a God who meets everyone right where they are. Instead of stepping away from real life to find God, Patterson equips women with a six-step practice to move further in and meet Him in the humdrum moments of everyday existence. And when a woman's inner being is truly changed by the sacred, everything in her world changes too--right down to tackling the dirty dishes. Through entertaining narrative, candid real-life stories, Bible study, and practical instruction, Sacred Mundane guides individuals or small groups to discover the beautiful sacredness in the lives they already lead. Women who long to grow in God and make a real difference in the world--no matter how small--will reach eagerly for this book and the radical transformation it offers. "Our daily routine, with its mundane tasks and mindless repetition, is ultimately an offering of worship to God. What a great truth from a great God!" --Ann Byle, author of The Making of a Christian Bestseller and coauthor of Devotions for the Soul Surfer
