M.J. Ferguson's New Book, 'From Haughty to Humble', Is a Brilliant Depiction of the Marvels and Mysteries in the Life of an Enigmatic Biblical Figure

NEW YORK, August 13, 2021 (Newswire.com) - M.J. Ferguson, a retired nurse, a passionate artist, a talented author and illustrator, has completed her new book, "From Haughty to Humble": a vivid volume that retraces the life of Moses from a baby who was rescued by an Egyptian princess at the Nile River, to being groomed as the future ruler of Egypt, to the man who was chosen by God to free his people from slavery. The author invites the readers to delve into a long and purposeful journey of an evasive figure who fought significant challenges to fulfill his God-given purpose.

Ferguson writes, "Strange circumstances changed the life of a Hebrew baby found floating in a basket on the Nile River. After many years of being groomed to be the future ruler of Egypt, Moses abdicated his right to the throne and fled for his life after killing an Egyptian. After 40 years of living in Midian of Arabia, God told Moses to return and lead His people out of Egypt. Through the power of God, 10 devastating plagues proved the Egyptian gods to be worthless and the Israelites were commanded by Pharaoh to leave Egypt. After another 40 years in the wilderness of Arabia, the Israelites entered the Promised Land of which Moses was denied because of his great sin. Moses was 120 years old when he died on Mount Nebo. 

"This book was written to correct the many false beliefs about Moses and the Pharaoh of his time. According to the Jewish timelines, the date of the Exodus was 1446BC of the 18th Egyptian dynasty, and the Pharaoh was Thutmose III. It was not Rameses the Great of the 19th dynasty as is commonly believed and portrayed.

"Mount Sinai was located in Arabia, (Galatians 4:25). While Moses was in Midian of Arabia, God spoke to him from the burning bush and said, 'You shall serve God upon this mountain.'  (Exodus 3:12)

"It was during the reign of Constantine the Great (AD 280-337) that he and his mother, Helena, believed and proclaimed the highest mountain in the peninsula owned by Egypt was the real Sinai—and subsequently given the name 'Sinai Peninsula.'

"The Israelites were to get 'out of Egypt.' Therefore, if they were in the peninsula, which Egypt owned and mined, the Israelites would still have been in Egypt.

"Many scenes and conversations in this book are added to better portray and represent events, but in no area is it contradictory to the Holy Bible."

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, M.J. Ferguson's new book is a detailed history of Moses' 120 years of life, starting from his birth, his rescue, the conflicts he faced, up until his death on Mount Nebo.
