The Ten Words

The Ten Words from God are often mistakenly considered an outdated list of do's and don'ts that add up to a guilt-ridden, legalistic way of life. But as author, preacher and Bible teacher Stan Baldwin probes the purpose and meaning of the Ten Commandments, readers will gladly discover that these instructions can aptly be called God's design for the best life possible. They contain the wisdom and priorities anyone needs for relational, spiritual, and societal blessing and it's all coming from a loving heavenly Father who wants the best for his children.

Not only does Baldwin deliver these truths in brief, readable segments, but he offers discussion questions and ideas for further study throughout each chapter. When God’s word takes root in a willing heart, it goes beneath the surface meaning. It motivates us to behave in lawful ways with genuine understanding and willingness instead of reluctance and a desire to barely squeak by, doing as little as possible. This book will challenge readers to view the commandments with new eyes and help them to understand the health, the hope, and the heritage we're offered there.
