DESCRIPTION:
The most important words ever written are the Ten Commandments. The ideas are very big.. For people who have thought little about the Ten Commandments, as well as for those who have a sophisticated understanding of them, it will be a revelation. Our schools ignore them and our churches and synagogues take them for granted. Sinai to Israelites, and they are changing it now. They are the foundation stones of Western civilization. These words changed the world when they were first presented at Mt. But here's a simple test: Who among us can even name all of the Ten Commandments? And even among those who can name them, how many can explain them in a way that makes sense to the modern eye and ear? If you are a person of faith, this book will strengthen it; if you are agnostic it will force you to rethink your doubts; if you're atheist, it will test your convictions. Given their staggering importance, you would think that all societies, and certainly our educational and religious institutions, would be intent on studying them closely. Sadly, this is not the case. That's a lot to ask of a short book, but the only thing that's short here is the length
Incredibly INCISIVE Reading Randy Martens In this day of excessive and exaggerated verbal blather, Dennis Prager has the rare ability to pack an enormous amount of thought-provoking meaning into an economy of words.

One of the MOST important books for EVERYone on your list of people who care about.Explained fully on just WHY our commandments are important in every day life Prager explains exactly why the First Commandment is the most important & without it the others cannot stand.After receiving my copy I ordered s. "If short is what you want - this is adequate!" according to Paul Gebolys. Correct but far too short studies of the subject. More didactic than expository. Given his usualy enlightening, and intellectually stimulating arguments, this work felt like it was written for young readers.
