Oxen brothers Otto and Oscar stand trapped and terrified between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's approaching army along with all of Israel. Yes, God has brought them this far out of the misery of Egypt, but escape now seems impossible! When Moses shouts, "Fear not. Stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord," everyone gasps as the cloud of the Lord billows up and blocks the enemy from advancing. Then the wind begins to blow. Will the oxen and the rest of Israel be able to outrun the enemy?

The Prophecy and the Hope by bestselling author Marty Machowski follows the adventures of the animals who could have witnessed the events of the Old Testament, from the Exodus onward. Join oxen at the Red Sea, mountain goats at Mount Sinai, Rahab's pets in Jericho, horses watching as David faced Goliath, the Queen of Sheba's camels, ravens with Elijah, and mice in Isaiah's house.

“As Marty creatively walks us through the Old Testament, he wonderfully points to Christ. As the title of this series is Redemption Tales, it is fitting that the predominant theme woven throughout each story is Jesus Christ, the coming Redeemer. The Prophecy and the Hope stays on point, directing our hearts and our children’s hearts to the Son.”

“This isn’t just a book that aims to teach kids facts in an engaging way. They will learn facts about the Exodus, no doubt, but Machowski aims for transformation. The Prophecy and the Hope invites kids to consider the connections of Israelites’ tremendous deliverance from slavery to our deliverance from sin through Jesus, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.”

“Marty has written some amazing true adventure stories from the eyes of the animals that could have been there. God’s Word contains some of the greatest stories ever told, so it’s amazing to see someone as skilled as Marty Machowski give these biblical accounts such a wonderfully fresh perspective. Coupling the stories with his study questions makes this a resource that’s not only going to engage the families who use it, but equip them too.”

“The first two books in the Redemption Tales series captivate young (and older) minds while recounting significant stories from the Old Testament. All three of my children asked for ‘just one more chapter’ again and again! The questions at the end really turned reading these books into incredible discipleship time!”
