It is amazing how relevant the Old Testament is to our modern day lives, considering that the events that are retold occurred thousands of years ago. In her new book In Want + Plenty, Meredith McDaniel shows us how we can learn valuable life lessons from the book of Exodus. Specifically, McDaniel writes about Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. McDaniel takes a close look at the attitudes and actions of both Moses and the Israelites, as well as God’s responses.
Sometimes it feels like we are wandering in the desert and wondering where God is, doesn’t it? However, just like the Israelites, McDaniel shows us how we must recognize God’s manna for us. It is when we realize that God is providing just what we need, that we learn how to be content and experience abundant life. Each chapter of In Want + Plenty ends with questions that encourage self-reflection. The questions would also be helpful to spur conversation if this book is used as part of a small group Bible study.
