God has freed the slaves! The Hebrews, led by Moses, escaped from Egypt and enter the desert wilderness where God spends years building them into His people — people He has called by Name.
This wilderness journey, as told by the author who carefully follows scripture, is portrayed with an intimacy that brings the reader along the trail to becoming God’s own people. Feel the grit of the ever-present sand, thirst when there is no water, wonder at God’s daily provision of manna, look to the cloud and the fire for guidance. Struggle with Moses as he leads this stiff necked people according to God’s loving instructions. Mourn with Moses as he sees the people’s sin. Root for Moses as others covet what they consider his power and scheme to take it from him.
It is rare to be so completely involved with the characters in a book, but they are real people and someday we will know them in Heaven. What blessings!
A combination of scriptural and fictional characters demonstrate the gamut of faith journeys — from doubt and rebellion to steadfast faith, obedience, and trust. This is a picture of God’s love for His people and of His character as He shows His holiness in compassion, patience, and judgement. the characters puzzle over who God is — the author provides answers, with profound biblical wisdom. Those answers are the same today, as we live our lives in relationship with God.
There is a treasure house of Godly wisdom in this book. Together with scripture, this book could effectively used as powerful discipling tool.
Hugely edifying, engaging, and entertaining, I Have Called You by Name, is a “must read” for anyone who hungers for fresh glimpses of the One True God, or for anyone who is soul searching for Truth.

This book is a story of the travels of the Israelite people from the time they left Egypt to the time they were ready to enter the Promised Land, based on the Scriptural account found in the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, and other archaeological and historical records. The path to become God's people is not smooth, and there are many setbacks and tragedies along the way, because of the rebellious hearts of the people. But God is faithful, and He continues to provide for them as He patiently conforms them to be His people, and keeps His promise to give them a land for their own.
In our culture, the idea of the holiness of God is not a popular concept. The account of the events of the Israelite's journey from the slavery of Egypt to the freedom of their own land served to remind me of the importance of God's holiness. The consequences of the people's rebellion were sometimes very harsh, but the eternal consequences would have been much harsher had God not acted. Extreme measures were sometimes necessary for God to keep His promises.
I really enjoyed the book because of the many practical biblical concepts that were woven into the story. Some of the lessons included the importance of trusting God even when you do not understand what He is doing, realizing that God is faithful even when you are in the midst of trouble, knowing that victory comes from God alone, and that walking with God is about His glory, not ours. These kinds of lessons are found throughout the book.
I felt like I really got to know the characters in the book. Some of the characters were actual characters from the biblical history, and others were created from historical and archaeological research. I felt like the author captured what it must have been like to be on that journey. I felt the joys, sorrows, and questions that the characters undoubtedly had on the journey.
