Great Lives: Moses
What can the incredible life of Moses teach us about modern Christianity? When you face your personal Red Sea, will you be prepared like Moses was? Join pastor and bestselling author Charles Swindoll as he explores the life and legacy of Moses, a man of selfless dedication.
In Great Lives: Moses, the fourth book in his bestselling Great Lives series, Swindoll teaches us that our decision to go forward in life instead of retreating will be bolstered by studying the astonishing story of Moses.
Swindoll gives us the facts based squarely on the truth revealed in God's Word. He also fills in the fine-line details of Moses' life with emotion and feeling, because Moses, like all of us, was a human being with faults and frailties. And finally, Swindoll helps us apply the lessons of Moses' life to our own daily dilemmas.
From the Moses who tried to decline his assignment from God to the Moses who received the Ten Commandments, Swindoll shares his journey in a new light, inspiring you to:
- Find strength and confidence in God's power
- Embrace failure with grace
- Become a servant leader in your own life
Come along with Swindoll as he invites you to travel far back to another place in another era--allowing us to focus our attention on one man's life, clinging closely to his side. Hopefully, as a result, our lives will never again be the same.

“But God didn’t tell him that! God told him that he would be an instrument in the deliverance, but God Himself would be the deliverer. Huge difference.” (source)
“It is one thing to do the will of God. It is another thing entirely to do it God’s way in God’s time.” (source)
“He knew God’s will. But the problem was, he did not bother to seek God’s way and God’s timing. Instead, Moses began to carry out that plan according to Moses’ way and Moses’ schedule. As he did, sadly, many things came unraveled for him. Allow me to explain the steps that led me to this conclusion.” (source)
“It may help you to know that the Hebrew word for ‘desert’ is midbaar. It’s from the word dahbaar, meaning ‘to speak.’ Let me draw from that root term and suggest that the desert is the place where God speaks, where He communicates some of His most important messages to us.” (source)
“God knows, right down to the final nub, exactly where you are in life. He sees. He cares. He is aware. And best of all, He is touched by it.” (source)
