Good Reminders, Slightly Stale

I haven't been undergoing persecution lately or had anything particularly bad happen in my life, but I have been having a hard time relating to God and figuring out how to live this life. From that position and finding no better looking alternatives, I requested a free copy of The Red Sea Rules by Robert J. Morgan from BookLook Bloggers. It turned out to be just about what I expected: a book with some good reminders but nothing especially new or life-changing.
Morgan draws 10 lessons from the Israelites' passage out of Egypt and through the Red Sea that offer insight for relating to God as we pass through various trials and hardships in our own lives. These lessons include trusting God, praying, and praising, along with (as you might guess) seven others.
I would not necessarily suggest reading this book, but I also don't doubt that it could be used to change a person's life. One thing I do like about it is that the lessons are not overly drawn out, so it's a fairly quick read.
