Why did the Exodus happen?

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.
