The Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is a love story between God and His people. God woos His people to Himself as He prepares them to leave. Before leaving, God must fight Pharaoh for possession of His people. See how God changes all people: some for the better, others not. None stay the same. How will He change you? Can you trust a God Who destroyed a nation before your eyes? Would you want Him as your Friend?
See God free His people from Egypt’s bonds before a watching world. Trace His Finger in the lives He touches. The time: 2450 BC. The Place: Old Kingdom of Egypt where Pharaoh is god. His people worship him. Israel’s God arrives. He challenges Pharaoh. His power touches all people. They must change. Some do not concede. They suffer. Others yield. They find freedom.
Until My Name Is Known brings all to see the one true God. Read it to see Him. Today’s historians and archaeologists puzzle over the fall of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, But the world at that time heard of God. The world knew that He is the Lord. His Name was proclaimed in all the earth.

The story of Moses confronting Pharaoh and leading the Jews out of Egypt is a story most of us know. But like all historical fiction, it always teaches me something new.
This book brought my focus primarily onto Moses. How must he and his family have felt during this time. Prior to this book, I focused on Pharaoh’s hardened heart and how he allowed his people to suffer, because he refused to let the Jews leave.
In the end Pharaoh loses big time. Ms Contreras also brought insight into just how the suffering of the Egyptians might have played out. I’m looking forward to the second book of the Tell of My Kingdom’s Glory series.
