Has something that you needed but did not ask for drop into your lap unexpectedly? This happened to me with Priscilla Shirer’s new book, One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land. It is without a doubt one of those books that touches your inner fibers so profoundly that you will consider it a landmark in your spiritual journey. The kind that gives you goose bumps when you are reading it because you think it was written especially for you.

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!

Great Bible study. We just finished this one at WOW. It was a 6-week study. I learned a lot from this study about wandering in the wilderness, that God sometimes leads us into the wilderness to teach us obedience, to test our faith, to show us miracles. We have to obey God completely and immediately, we should expect miracles, we should have courage to step into the raging waters, we should do exactly what God tells us to do. God loves us. We are His people. He is always with us. When we

MY REVIEW:
Would you like to be a "one-in-a-million" kind of person? Do you want to experience God in a deeper way?
Priscilla Shirer takes a look at what it means to eat, live, and breath the Christian walk. I appreciated her honest approach and vulnerability which meets you right where you are as you read. While I can not say that I agree with everything she said, I did appreciate much of her perspective and sharing of Scripture. My favorite part was the last More...

Priscilla was talking to me from one page to the next. Very convicting and her own personal stories just add to scripture and help you not feel so alone. Whether you are still in Egypt, in the wilderness, at the mountain...there are so many places along the journey where you could be stuck and she shines the light for you so you can "turn, set and go" towards your promise land. I really loved this book, and the funny part I didn't think I would and I had no intentions of reading it

Shirer really steps inside the story of the Israelites escape from Egypt and turns it into a personal spiritual journey. Anybody who's ever had a hard time in their life - divorce, illness, money trouble, ANYTHING - can read this book and take something out of it. Comparing our hard times with the wilderness that the Israelites explored for years, we're given a new way to think of God's work in our lives and understand what can come of it. Shirer pushes us, encourages us, to become the One in a

Priscilla is a very talented and relateable writer. She gave me fresh perspective on the exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and challenged me to move out of my personal 'egypts' into my promised land. This is one of the most balance and real books that I have read on what it looks like to live in the promised land with lots of practical application. Priscilla makes scripture come alive!

A great book for wisdom on things that we (women..and probably guys too) struggle with alot in our day to day thought life. I always tend to have to pray for reassurance of just whatever I am going to do in life, or praying to do, and Priscilla has the pinpoint of how and why to trust God fully. Her writing makes it feel like she is talking to you across the table at starbucks. Simple ways of understanding tough things.

.. like my pastor says "if you cannot say amen, say ouch".
The content of this book is dynamic, matches up with the Word, and is an exhortation to move deeper into a relationship with God.

Nothing really new here, but her take on the wilderness experience was refreshing.

Very profound. She spends much of the book on our "wilderness time" which I certainly needed to read about now. Highly recommend this.
