"I have read Dr. Michael Barrett's Beginning at Moses with sheer pleasure. I think it is the best book of its kind, one that meets an urgent need for many Christians. Here a profound Old Testament scholar writes for the common man and shows us how to mine the greatest treasure of the ancient Scriptures - their testimony to the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. All who are serious about uncovering the central message of Scripture, from the experience preacher to the newest believer, will find Dr. Barrett an excellent teacher who makes difficult things understandable in an eminently readable style. I heartily recommend this book." — Dr. Alan Cairns, Faith Free Presbyterian Church, Greenville, SC
