Featured Book
What if everything you’ve been taught about the Exodus is only half the story? For 3,500 years we’ve cast Pharaoh as the villain and Moses as the hero. But what if God didn’t come to Egypt to crush Pharaoh? What if he came to save him?
In this gripping and revelatory journey through Scripture, Teena Myers dares to place Pharaoh in the classroom of the Almighty and watch the most arrogant man on earth receive the most patient, relentless, heart breaking education in history. Plague after plague wasn’t punishment. It was God writing across Egypt in letters of fire I AM the LORD. There is no one like ME.
Through stunning biblical insight, Educating Pharaoh unveils the terrifying mercy of a God who will wreck and empire that has gone astray if that’s what it takes to awaken stubborn human hearts.
This is not another retelling of the Exodus. It is the story of how far love will go to rescue its enemy, and why Pharaoh’s tragedy is a mirror for us all. Discover the God who refuses to give up on anyone, including the Pharaoh within you.

Tidings of Light Amid the Darkness of Oppression
When Teena Myers’s new book, Educating Pharaoh, came to me for translation, what struck me as I leafed through its pages was the realization that, no matter how long the night of oppression may last, it eventually comes to an end. The sun of eternal happiness, liberation, and the demise of tyranny rises anew, bringing fresh hope.
Although the Children of Israel endured an incredibly arduous and painful existence under the rule of a tyrannical leader, they were led by Moses and Aaron. They clung to the hope of deliverance and remained steadfast in their devotion to worshipping their God, possessing absolute faith that He was with them.
Although this faith may at times appear to waver, its roots run deep, for God provided tangible proof of His presence at every difficult juncture. He sought to reform Pharaoh by sending a new affliction upon Egypt in response to each broken promise. God’s purpose in sending these afflictions was not to destroy Pharaoh or the Egyptians but to bring about their reformation so that they might acknowledge His divinity. Undoubtedly, our God is the Giver of life; He desires the destruction of no one.
I believe that although this book was written against the backdrop of the Israelites’ liberation from Pharaoh’s tyranny, it also carries a message for the “Pharaohs” of today—those intoxicated by power and authority who fancy themselves gods; those who, wielding their might and weaponry, stifle the prosperity of weaker nations by imposing economic sanctions; and those “Asian Pharaohs” who subject followers of Jesus to the cross of suffering within their own lands, carrying out extrajudicial massacres in the name of religion.
To those whose places of worship and homes are burned, and whose daughters are violated, this book offers courage and hope. Our God stands with you just as He stood with the Children of Israel. He loves you just as He loved them. He will not abandon you amid the storms of oppression, abuse, and injustice. He will reward your steadfast faith, and to those who remain faithful even unto death, He will grant the crown of life.
“After reading your book I found myself asking a surprising question—not ‘Who was Pharaoh?’ but ‘Where is Pharaoh still alive inside me? Thanks again for writing such an amazing book!”
It is simply a test of patience—one that may sometimes be prolonged. Yet we must hold fast to the hope that a Moses will emerge from among us to confront today’s Pharaoh—one who, empowered by God, will defeat these modern-day Pharaohs and deliver his people from their suffering. This book inspires hope that, amid the darkness of oppression, the glad tidings of light will one day arrive and the sun of eternal happiness will rise.
