The book of Exodus was written by the author of Genesis, Moses. Although this book focuses on the departure of the nation of Israel from bondage in Egypt, it begins with a short synopsis of the original participants of that nation who first arrived in Egypt 2281 years after the creation of Adam. The eventual bondage of the nation is addressed followed by the birth of Moses, the author of this book. He was born 2631 years after the creation of Adam; 80 years later, in 2711, he led the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the wilderness where they would remain for 40 years. However, the books of Genesis and Exodus were completed by the second year in the wilderness; therefore, the book of Exodus ends 2713 years after the creation of Adam. Before this book ends, this freed nation will have a leader, a law, a place of worship, a priesthood and an army prepared to take possession of the land promised to them by the LORD since the days of Abraham. This book is laid out in the same order as your Bible for easy searching. For example, if you are looking for commentary on a verse in Chapter 2 in your Bible, you can find those same verses and commentary in Chapter 4 of this book. Enjoy

Hub City, Kansas. The Year 2235. The near-utopian Capital of America has been under attack over the past few days by a terror group called the Unwanted. Random bombings, shootings and physical assaults have put the entire population on edge. Chief Officer Cooper 08/06/2206 and his team have been busy trying to stave the flow of violence-with little effect so far-and they're starting to succumb to the pressure. Now, in Part Four of YEAR OF THE KING, the Unwanted are upping their game-bringing their war even closer to home-and it's up to Cooper, Quinne, Liam and Swiss to do everything in their power to stop the terror cell from destroying even more lives. But with the Birth Laws hindering their investigation and the President insisting that Celebration Day and the Mars 8 Launch go on despite the dangers, doing "everything in their power" may either get them killed ... or thrown in the Kansas State Penitentiary forever. Filled with fast-moving action, suspense and drama, YEAR OF THE KING is a page-turning, episodic thrill-ride that will appeal to fans of Logan's Run, Battlestar Galactica, Ender's Game, Minority Report, Total Recall, Oblivion, Almost Human, Extant and Demolition Man.

Paul's faithful companion and doctor acts as a scribe to record Paul's eyewitness testimony of the Lord's birth and life as seen and encountered by a Pharisee of the Pharisees. As a Pharisee, Paul, then known as Saul, violently objected to the Lord's life and ministry. Thankfully, Dr. Luke provides in this transcript of Paul's testimony all the needed historical facts to identify the year and season of Jesus' birth and death and His wonderful ministry. It was a testimony to one Roman man, but it also contains all that Gentiles need to know to accept the Lord as the Savior of their lives.
