Oriel in the Desert — Robert Harrison

What does it take to transform an unbelieving melancholic murderer into the godly leader of a new nation?The personal diary of Archangel Oriel gives us an inside track on Moses, who rises from a dysfunctional family background to engage in the intrigue of Egyptian politics. After head-to-head confrontation with his step-cousin Pharaoh Rameses II, Moses leads the escape from forced labour of the demoralised slaves who are destined to become God's chosen people. Along the way we eavesdrop on the affairs of heaven even to being present for the first drafting of the twelve commandments! And just how exactly did the sea part for the Israelites to pass through? Oriel reveals all, with humour and insights that will provoke fresh appreciation for this central episode in God's plan of salvation.The third title in the bestselling Archangel Oriel trilogy, Oriel's assignment in this book is to get alongside Moses at the 'burning bush experience' as he receives instructions to set the Israelites free of Egyptian oppression. Oriel closely follows Moses in his ministry in the same way that he followed Jesus and Paul in the first two stories. As usual, there is plenty of humour and much moving insight as Oriel gets behind the scenes of the affairs of both heaven and earth. This book will provoke fresh appreciation for this central episode in God's plan of salvation.
