Contents:
The first commandment : no other God, no other voice The second commandment : the God who is heard, not seen The third commandment : Honoring the God we know by Name The fourth commandment : Resting secure in the God who saves us The fifth commandment : Honoring our parents, cherishing a patrimony The sixth commandment : the sanctity of life and the violence of sin The seventh commandment : Why adultery is about much more than sex The eighth commandment : Dealing with the inner embezzler The ninth commandment : The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth The tenth commandment : why covetousness kills contentment.
Summary: Who has the time for a list of rules from an authoritarian deity? In a society prone to self-interest and resistant to the notion of authority, the Ten Commandments are widely misunderstood or simply ignored. Monotheistic and directive, they smack of exclusivity and demand absolute obedience. Not even believers, though quick to defend the Commandments as part of our heritage, spend much time learning or teaching them to their children. Curious treatment for words that reveal God and frame the identify of his people. Yet, there is great reward for those who explore these words in all their beauty and truth, for they speak of One who loves. And because he has spoken, we can know his love and respond in kind. In Words from the Fire, Al Mohler skillfully explores the Ten Commandments, revealing our Creator
