"Out of Egypt": Rules for Sacrifice
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” There’s quite a bit of truth to that idiom, isn’t there? If you have ever assembled a piece of furniture with a name you cannot pronounce from a Swedish furniture manufacturer, you know it to be true. Paragraphs of well-written prose could not capture the clarity of a well-drawn image of how...
