All right - so if you enjoyed UNCLE BOB'S RED FLANNEL BIBLE CAMP - THE BOOK OF GENESIS, then you are going to LOVE this next book in the series. This is the whole entire story of the Book of Exodus and several books thereafter, encompassing the entire lifespan of Moses himself - as told to you by the world's oldest storyteller, Uncle Bob.
Now, if you are one of those folks who thinks that it is bad manners to giggle a little in church - well, you might want to take a good look at the sample that the Kindle folks let you peek at before you go throwing down any of your hard-earned money. This isn't exactly a solemn retelling of the Bible. In fact, I guarantee a giggle or two along the way. The fact is this is the story of the Book of Exodus as retold by a country gentleman who read the Bible a couple of times and is doing his level best to retell it in his own words.
Means he takes some liberties with the Gospel.
Or - in the words of Uncle Bob - this here is mostly the truth with only a few lies stirred into the broth for pepper.
Don't say I didn't warn you!
"My golly, but I just can't tell you people just how very much that I wish Uncle Bob had written the screenplay for my very first movie, Julius Caeser!" - Charlton Heston
Chapter One – Up From The Water
When Jacob finally got to dying back in the end of the Book of Genesis his sons returned his body to his home in Canaan and they made certain that he was buried good and properly but they were awfully worried about the possibility that his son Joseph would seek vengeance out on his brothers who had traded him into slavery - now that his father was dead and buried.
And if you are feeling a little bit lost – well, I already told you that you ought to read the first book first just one page ago and it really isn’t my fault at all that you are trying to jump onto a moving train like you are.
You can lead a camel to water but just don’t expect him to use a bar of soap.
In any case, Joseph had made up his mind to make peace and he continued to forgive his brothers and he ruled over them all with compassion and kindness and when he finally died as well they buried him right beside his father Jacob with all honor and due respect.
While Joseph was busy dying a new Pharaoh came unto Egypt.
He didn’t care for the Hebrews of Joseph one little bit.
“They take all of the good pastureland,” the new Pharaoh said. “And if there is a war they might accidentally forget their allegiance to Egypt and turn against us.”
So he decided to create a rule that all Hebrews would be kept as slaves of the state and forced to work in the brickyards and the mud pits that were overseen by fierce whip-cracking Egyptian foremen.
