The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God's chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God's invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two actually entered it! Similarly, modern day Christians often hear and understand the promises of God each Sunday morning at church but then rarely choose to experience them in everyday life. In One in a Million, Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer invites us to change that pattern for good, living beyond our circumstances and expecting to see God move in miraculous ways day after day.

Do you want to be challenged to move out of your comfort zone and into deeper intimacy with God? Then this book is for you.
The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God’s chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God’s invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two actually entered it!
The title, One in a Million, refers to the fact that out of approximately two million Israelites only two - Joshua and Caleb - made it to the Promised Land. Priscilla uses the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan to explain what intimacy with God requires of us. Part Bible study and part spiritual memoir, the book seamlessly interweaves Scripture and personal application.
The Promised Land is the place where we experience the fullness of what God has to offer us no matter what the cost to getting there is.
