God's
Rock
Several bits of information and small episodes are used from sources other than the Bible like the writings of Josephus. To see if you will like it download the first chapter of God's Rock or download the entire e-book. The books regularly are being downloaded and at least for the present they are free.
The Bible says that an agreement was finally struck between Moses and Pharaoh which allowed Moses, the Israelites, their children, and their livestock to go into Egypt's wilderness for a celebration of sacrifices unto their God...and then to return to Goshen to their homes.
The celebration of sacrifices to God happened just as in the agreement. Having left after midnight of the first Passover, it took them six days of travel within Egypt proper, following God's cloud by day and fire by night to reach the site chosen by God for the festival of sacrifices. Hebrew tradition and Christian beliefs have always adhered to this Biblical teaching.
Therefore, if Moses had led the Israelites directly southeast out of Egypt through the eastern region called Suez into the Sinai Peninsula and continued easterly, then God and Moses would have lied and broken the agreement with Pharaoh. Moreover, there is no Bible passage about celebrating this feast of sacrifices over in the Sinai Peninsula.
Only Moses and Aaron knew that God would arrange for Pharaoh to force the Israelites out of Egypt. All along, the Israelites thought they would be returning to Goshen to their homes.

The Bible is clear that every teaching
of God in Old and New Testaments has been built upon the
foundation of Israel's
Exodus from Egypt and from Israel's forty years in
the
wildernesses of Sinai and from Israel's journey and ensuing
conquests east of
the Jordan River and in Canaan. Therefore, the
coming of Jesus (Israel's
Messiah) began in promise to Israel exactly where you will be
reading it is God's Rock. The faith-stories in the book God's Hook are about Bible characters, and many of them lived during the forty year period detailed in God's Rock. Indeed, both books are loaded with episodes of faith-in-action between God and His people. Start with God's Hook and then go on to God's Rock.
So many Christians of today know and understand but little of Moses, the Exodus, the mountain of God, and the Rock from which flowed pure survival waters in arid wilderness places. In these books you will share in many of God's truths and the essential faith which enabled Moses and Aaron and many others to walk pleasingly before Almighty God.
The Christian that loves God and His Word will surely enjoy these books. Moreover, in our present-day wondering about America and the world (the economy being but one serious concern), confirmation of faith and knowledge in God the Father and in His Son (Israel's Messiah) is needed by all of us.

Finding chariot wheels in archaeological searches does not compare with descriptions in the many Bible passages of the Exodus and the travels of the Israelites.
During the four years of basic study for God's Rock much information was accumulated, included data collected by the Russian army and (separately) by the US Army in the 1950s which I used for making the topological map of southern Sinai. Over the course of my studies it became more and more apparent that God's Word is entirely true in all of its aspects...spiritual, historical, and geographical. The Appendix goes a long way in proving it to the reader of God's Rock.
~~~
The Source from which God's Rock was
composed is the Bible. Calculations
of distance and other data were compared
to the Bible's days
of travel and the days
of encampments as described in many and varied passages.
As these began emerging into agreement, the estimates of encampment site
locations and directions
of travel were established.At first, scripture easily yielded some specifics. Yet, other specifics needed for the book did not seem to be in the Bible...until many pieces were worked separately and the puzzle began coming together...different pieces were adding understanding for other pieces. The sea crossing through the Red Sea is identified. A route to the Wilderness of Sinai is proposed. And so on.
It was decided to incorporate the studies into nine appendixes, the ninth appendix having the maps, which are in the back of the book. The appendixes are a little technical, but they are user-friendly and you will be much encouraged reading it.

- The concept of "Christian Wilderness Press" for our publishing name is based upon all that God was doing with His people for forty years in the wilderness... doing many and marvelous things in every Israelite. Indeed, as He was punishing the first Exodus generation for their rebellion, He was preparing the second Exodus generation for victorious battles and the receiving of inheritances as initially promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's sons.
- The fundamental purpose for this website is to encourage
Christians in their faith and to encourage them to live in their Bibles -

Today many Christians are searching the Internet regarding Moses and the Exodus. See many of the searched subtopics which are contained in this book, God's Rock.
The book has 3 other map sketches and a topological map of the southern half of the Sinai Peninsula where God gave waters from the Rock and Israel encamped and celebrated the second Passover. All sketches were made from maps at the Ohio State University. Research for the book, map-making, and writing took 4 years.
