[edit] Reviews
Beliefnet named Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt its 2005 Book of the Year on the basis of its "creativity, its unique spin on one of the world's most important religious figures, and for its impact on Christians and other readers".[1]
[edit] Film
A film based on the book was scheduled to start shooting in October 2007 in Israel,[2] produced by David Kirkpatrick, co-founder of Good News Holdings. The production company hoped to release the film in the northern fall of 2008.[3] However, the project was cancelled due to "creative differences".[4]
Rice recently announced that a new development for the film adaptation is underway.
