The Ten Commandments are the foundation of our nation’s system of law and justice. Unfortunately, many Americans — even Christian Americans — struggle to name more than a few. For those who can name a few commandments, an understanding of how those commandments apply to our postmodern world is missing. In this book, I hope to reduce the gap between God’s ancient law and modern living.

Why should you take the time to study the Ten Commandments? In one word, the answer is freedom. God’s commands don’t just tell us how God desires us to live. They tell us the best way to live. Obedience to God’s commands leads to freedom and joy. Breaking God’s commands leads to slavery and death. God’s commands are the pathway to freedom for the people of God. It is my hope this book helps you experience the freedom God desires as we study God’s commandments and learn what they mean for us today.
