The Covenant of the Torch: A Forgotten Encounter in the History of the Exodus and Wilderness Journey (God's Administration in the History of Redemption) by Abraham Park - 352 pages
In this book, Rev. Abraham Park brings to life the ôCovenant of the Torchö made with Abraham, and helps us to understand—accurately, and in chronological detail—692 years of redemptive history starting from Abraham, including the great exodus, the wilderness journey and the
conquest of Canaan.

Just as his The Genesis Genealogies has helped readers to better understand the time frames and relationships in the Book of Genesis, Rev. Park now helps us to carefully study the books of Exodus up to Joshua, and to realize what those events and participants tell us regarding God's larger plan. By understanding the chronological flow of the biblical events in a systematic manner, we gain a much broader and deeper grasp of God's plan of salvation.
