That You May Live: How the 10 Commandments Lead to Human Freedom - Darrell W. Johnson

\nAfter setting the people of Israel free from bondage in Egypt, God spoke Ten Words to promote and protect the freedom of His people. Ten words that were crucial in forming Israel's identity as a newly liberated nation, rescued from slavery in Egypt, breathing the fresh air of freedom for the first time.\n \n \n\n \nToday these Ten Words are famously known as the Ten Commandments.\n \n \n\n \nIn a day of increasing moral ambiguity and uncertainty, in the midst of the cacophony of differing voices and differing visions of the good life, these Ten Words are an invitation into a life of true human flourishing.\n \n \n\n \nFor those seeking right relationship with God and others.\n \n \n\n \nFor those looking for guidance in a fractured and broken world.\n \n \n\n \nFor those longing for moral clarity in all the confusion.\n \n \n\n \nGod gives us these Ten Commandments.\n \n \n\n \nTen Words endorsed by the Creator of all things.\n \n \n\n \nTen Words that reflect His character to us.\n \n \n\n \nTen Words designed by the Creator to bring freedom and life to His people.\n \n \n\n \nThat You May Live walks the reader through the power and continued relevance of the Ten Commandments for us today.\n
