Volume 2 of Rev. Byran C. Russell’s series dives deep into Leviticus’ closing chapters, teaching us that true faith shines brightest amid hardship. At its heart, Footprints in the Wilderness (Volume 2): The Journey of The Children of Israel From Egypt to The Promised Land shows how obedience to God’s statutes brings blessing—and that mercy always awaits the repentant.
In these final chapters, Russell distills Leviticus 26–27 into a roadmap for spiritual survival. He reminds us of that walking “in My statutes” invites rain in due season, peace in the land, and God’s very presence among His people . But he also warns that ignoring those statutes leads to terror, famine, and exile—a sobering lesson on the cost of turning away .
“40If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers…42then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 44And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away…I am the Lord their God.” Leviticus 26:40-46
—Footprints in the Wilderness (Volume 2), Chapter 9, pp. 158-159
Be Enlightened Through Covenant And Grace
Russell structures Volume 2 around two pillars: the blessings of obedience (rain, fruitfulness, God’s presence) and the sevenfold chastisements for rebellion (from wild beasts to exile) . He brings each law to life with clear, relatable commentary—whether unpacking the Year of Jubilee’s restorative power or the precise valuations for vows in Leviticus 27.
Character and community pulse through every page: the priests, tasked with keeping the altar’s fire burning; families, stained by ignorance yet invited into mercy; even the “stranger” in camp, assured of equal treatment under God’s statutes . Russell shows that Leviticus isn’t dusty ritual but living instruction for today’s challenges.
He highlights key figures—Aaron, the humble high priest whose consecration lays the groundwork for Israel’s worship; Moses, interceding for a stiff-necked people; and the patriarchs themselves, whose faith fuels God’s promise of mercy across generations . Through their stories, we see that covenant keeping demands both humility and courage.

Footprints in the Wilderness (Volume 2): The Journey of the Children of Israel From Egypt to the Promised Land
The Book of Leviticus establishes the Premise that the purpose of Israel’s Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land, by way of the Wilderness, was to provide the circumstances and conditions for a personal and intimate knowledge of their God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob suggests that these men had an intimate and personal knowledge of their God through a life transforming experience. While sojourning in Egypt for 430 years, the nation of Israel did not have a person knowledge as their fathers had. Nothing could be more important to their existence, mission, and destiny than their Wilderness…
