Ride along on this exploration to reveal the true story of Jesus coming into Egypt, the events that occurred, the people involved, and the footprints He left behind. Find out why Joseph's role was so important in the fulfillment of this quest, and finally, see the remnants of Jesus' divinity crushed into stone in an act of "completeness," as to say "It is finished!" This exploration will be a great adventure to bring you closer to feeling the truth in God's Word than ever before, and see the finality in each step of Jesus' walk on this Earth. Dr. Jim Rankin is an accomplished biblical explorer, pastor, dynamic speaker, and best-selling author. With his incredible expeditions into the truth of the Bible, Rankin has opened the doors to biblical reality, and he has become a popular guest on international Christian television. He has been described by Pastor Bobby Schuller (and others) as "A real-life modern-day Indiana Jones," and has dedicated his life to locating the truths of the Bible, while sharing the gospel around the world. After reading about his adventure, and hearing Dr. Rankin speak, one pastor said, "He's a Spirit-filled dynamic speaker that has lived these adventures, and the truth can be felt rumbling out of him." When not in some faraway biblical exploration, Jim and his wife Sherri also enjoy the Florida sunshine, traveling the U.S. researching American history, and spending time with their children and grandchildren.

Historically, the book of Exodus treats of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt; but viewed doctrinally, it deals with redemption. Just as the first book of the Bible teaches that God elects unto salvation, so the second instructs us how God saves, namely, by redemption. Redemption, then, is the dominant subject of Exodus. Following this, we are shown what we are redeemed for-worship, and this characterizes Leviticus, where we learn of the holy requirements of God and the gracious provisions He has made to meet these. In Numbers we have the walk and warfare of the wilderness, where we have a typical representation of our experiences as we pass through this scene of sin and trial-our repeated and excuseless failures, and God's long-sufferance and faithfulness.

"Little by little, an egg will come to walk upon its own leg." Ethiopian-Israelis fondly quote this bit of Amharic folk wisdom, reflecting upon the slow, difficult history that allowed them to fulfill their destiny far from the Horn of Africa where they were born. But today, along with those Ethiopians who have been recognized as Jews by the State of Israel, many who are called "Feres Mura," the descendants of Ethiopian Jews whose families converted to Christianity but have now reasserted their Jewish identity, still await full acceptance in Israel. Since the 1990s, they have sought homecoming through Israel's "Law of Return," but have been met with reticence and suspicion on a variety of fronts. One People, One Blood expertly documents this tenuous relationship and the challenges facing the Feres Mura. Distilling more than ten years of ethnographic research, Don Seeman depicts the rich culture of the group, as well as their social and cultural vulnerability, and addresses the problems that arise when immigration officials, religious leaders, or academic scholars try to determine the legitimacy of Jewish identity or Jewish religious experience.
