Publisher's note.

George Wagner (1818-1857) served St Stephen's Church in Brighton and this book is taken from messages preached to his congregation there. The Wanderings of the Children of Israel tracks key elements in the journey of the Children of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land emphasising their application to the life of the Christian. Not a formal commentary, but covering passages from Exodus, Numbers and Joshua, this work makes stimulating reading for all Christians.

C H Spurgeon regarded this as a work that he would 'very heartily recommend.'
