A Three Days' Journey Adult Group Study Edition - Chris Carter

Something is wrong, and most believers can feel it. Sunday worship is sincere, but Monday life looks no different from the people next door. The gap between professed faith and lived reality keeps widening-and the distance isn't accidental. It's the predictable result of trying to worship God without ever actually leaving Egypt.The Adult Group Study Edition of A Three Days' Journey takes the foundational volume of the Holy Defiance Series and formats it for small group discussion, Sunday school classes, and adult discipleship settings. Designed for groups of six to twelve meeting over six to twelve weeks, this edition pairs the heart of the original book with study-ready features built for adults navigating the real tensions between faith and daily life.Through the lens of Moses's demand for a three days' journey into the wilderness, each session traces the biblical pattern of departure, wilderness transformation, and resurrection life. Teaching Notes highlight key theological insights for group leaders. Historical Notes provide archaeological and cultural background. Cross-References connect themes across Scripture. And every section closes with reflection and discussion questions tailored for adults-addressing the workplace, marriage, parenting, finances, and the comfortable syncretism that quietly overtakes a life of faith.Three appendices extend the study further: a guide to the Egyptian gods targeted by each plague, a Scripture map tracing the three-day pattern across twelve biblical events, and a field guide to recognizing Pharaoh's four compromises in seven domains of daily life.This is not a commentary. It is a group study built for believers ready to name the Egypt they've been living in-and walk toward the wilderness where God does His deepest work, together.
