Description
The Bible is one of the great works of world literature. The bible begins with Genesis, the creation of the world in seven days, the first two people Adam and Eve, their children and their children's children, the Hebrew people. Genesis leaves of with the Hebrews in Egypt which is where Exodus begins.
The story of Exodus is the story of Moses leading the Hebrew people out of slavery from Egypt and to the promised land of Israel. This secular style version is meant to provide a good retelling of Exodus from a neutral perspective, without any of the subtle proselytizing that can often be found in children's books about religion. We follow Moses from his birth, to him fleeing Egypt, his meeting with the burning bush, return to Egypt, the ten plagues, ten commandments and Moses not quite making it to Israel.
Exodus is a wonderful and timeless story. The book is by no means a complete retelling of Exodus, rather it is a quick introduction meant to familiarize kids with the story. Appropriate for children somewhere between the ages of 4 and 8.

After a few years he moved over to the private wealth management division at a slightly lesser, but still very well recognized private bank.Eventually leaving the world of finance he became a real estate developer of modest success purchasing and renovating a handful of apartments and small properties long before social media and the boom in home renovation shows.
