David Adam describes the occasion when a child listening to a story from the Bible repeatedly asked him, 'Am I in that story?'. 'Forward to Freedom' answers this question, showing how the Book of Exodus is relevant to our lives, and how we are all part of the story it tells. We are encouraged to step out of the familiar and to risk the desert; to leave that which captivates us and to move forward. We are assured that we are not alone on this journey. There are many other travellers, and our God is with us.

Containing a Scripture reading. a short meditation, and a prayer for each day of Lent, this is a book to challenge our relationships to the world, to each other and to our God. It will stretch our vision and ourselves so that we may positively reach forward to freedom.
