'The world has many stories. Some make us laugh, some make us cry, some we forget and others we remember all our lives. But there are a few, very few, that mirror the human experience so vividly and completely that they have themselves become part of that experience. This book retells and reflects on perhaps the greatest of them all, the Exodus-the story of a group of men and women, with a charismatic but flawed leader, making their way from slavery in Egypt to a promised land "flowing with milk and honey".

'It is also a story with profound meaning for many people at the personal level. I began this book while my wife was ill in hospital and completed it in the first year of a painful bereavement. For me it became the story of a slow and arduous journey through a barren and desolate landscape towards a place of distant promise.'

Follow the story with David Winter, in this book of Bible readings and comment for every day in the season of Advent and Christmas, and discover how we too, like the people of Israel long ago, live under the justice and mercy of God.
