My rating is 5 out of 5 stars.
I opened this book up chomping at the bit to get started. I had just finished the author’s book on Genesis, which was the first book I have read by Rabbi Sacks and learned so much that I could hardly wait to see what was in store next. I am not Jewish, but I am a Yeshua follower. There is something to be learned by everyone in this book. The life lessons are meant to teach how to live life according to God’s way, not how to participate in a religion. The way the author weaves pearls of knowledge, connecting different texts of Scripture together that I never would have was astonishing. Rabbi Sacks is a gifted and brilliant author, who uses his God-given gifts to bring glory to God and show his readers how to live a life that will do the same.
There is much to learn in this second book of the Covenant & Conversation Series, focusing on Exodus. The insights provided by the author are sometimes remarkable, sometimes profound and sometimes cause for soul-searching. He writes with the ability for any layperson to understand, although with his education, experience, intelligence and training he could easily write at a far higher level. As someone who is not an academician or Jewish, I appreciated the writing at my level of understanding. I have the entire series and will soon be starting the next book based on Leviticus. I know there will be much to learn, and I look forward to what Rabbi Sacks has to teach me.

I am not the target audience for this book. Therefore, I'm sure that a lot of his insights went over my head. But I still enjoyed what I did learn and understand. ( )
