A timely and thoughtful take on the Ten Commandments

Anne Robertson takes a fresh look at how the Ten Commandments apply to our moral choices today. She explores the ways in which these ancient tenets of Judaism and Christianity can guide us in light of the choices facing modern-day Americans. For example, "Honor thy father and mother" is about more than just respecting our biological parents, it is about having compassion for the elderly and working to ensure that all in our society are cared for in their later years. The stricture to not take the Lord's name in vain is expanded to warn against using the Bible as justification for actions that go against God. Robertson is very funny and easy to read, and she makes the Commandments seem more applicable to daily life. I highly recommend this book.
