(James Hartwell) The Adopted Son: The Story of Moses Produced by Michael Gray, Diocese of San Jose "The Adopted Son: The Story of Moses" by James Hartwell Willard is a children's biblical narrative written in the early 20th century. The book tells the story of Moses, a pivotal figure in the Israelite tradition, focusing on his miraculous birth, adoption by Pharaoh's daughter, and eventual role as the leader who guides the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt towards the Promised Land. Through engaging illustrations and accessible language, it aims to impart essential moral and religious lessons drawn from the life of Moses. The narrative details Moses' life, beginning with his birth during a time of peril for the Israelites, as Pharaoh decrees that all newborn boys must be killed. His mother saves him by placing him in a basket in the Nile, where he is discovered and raised by Pharaoh's daughter. As an adult, Moses witnesses the suffering of his people and ultimately feels compelled to act. After fleeing Egypt, he encounters God in the form of a burning bush and is chosen to lead the Israelites out of slavery. The book follows Moses as he confronts Pharaoh, performs miracles through God's power, leads the Israelites through trials in the wilderness, receives the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, and ultimately prepares them to enter Canaan while reflecting on his own life journey and the challenges of faith and obedience to God.
