Exodus Thoughts:
- I absolutely love the story of the plagues and Passover, sometimes a wrathful God makes solid points
- In some ways this book reminds me of the Greek gods because I feel like it highlights God’s imperfections like his pride
- The second half is so unbelievably boring and now I am so far behind because I couldn’t force myself to read it
