A Cry from Egypt
Author Hope Auer and illustrator by Mike Slaton collaborated together to write and illustrate A Cry From Egypt.
Both recent homeschool graduates themselves, Hope Auer has been writing stories and plays since she was very young.
She began writing A Cry From Egypt, the first book in The Promised Land Series, as a school assignment when she was only thirteen and her family was studying ancient Egypt!
This historical fiction book deals with the period before the Exodus, when the Israelites were still in slavery.
This book provides shining examples of young people wrestling with doubts and trying to understand what God is doing. There are delightful examples of healthy families, under difficult circumstances, doing what families do caring for each other, teasing each other, loving each other.
- This book shows the impact that the dramatic events of the Exodus must have had on ordinary families in Egypt.
