How can the struggles of a great biblical
figure help you
to improve your life today?
To help us cope with the burdens of our
own “Egypts,” author Levi Meier brings to life the
struggles, failures, and triumphs that reveal the human side of
Moses, a central figure in Jewish, Christian and Islamic
traditions. Engaging, empowering and insightful, Moses—The Prince, the Prophet shows how personal struggle and perseverance
create a foundation for liberation and change while teaching us
about ourselves—our role in life, our struggles and our
relationship with God.
More than a biography, Moses—The Prince, the Prophet is a personal guide to growth for each of us. It
explores a life intertwined with the story of a
people—from the Israelite Exodus from Egypt and the birth
of a new nation, to the Divine revelation at Mount Sinai.
Author Levi Meier—chaplain, clinical
psychologist, and rabbi—knows how people struggle for
healing and meaning in their lives. He brings the drama of
these events from biblical history into today to show the very
human side of Moses—a person who, like ourselves,
experienced self-doubt, fear, suffering, failure and success.
Through examining Moses’s
experiences and the common threads they share with ours, we are
taught lessons for our lives. Drawing on the stories in the
Book of Exodus, midrash (finding contemporary meaning from ancient
Jewish texts), the teachings of Jewish mystics, modern texts
and psychotherapy, Meier offers new ways to create our own path
to self-knowledge, self-fulfillment and
self-actualization—and face life’s difficulties
head-on.

that he has been brought so powerfully to life. ... We are in
our own wilderness and we need a spiritual compass as did the
Israelites. A valuable contribution.”
