<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>What if the Ten Commandments were not just a set of ancient rules, but a guide to experiencing the good life today?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Nearly everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments, the list of thou-shalt-nots found in the Bible. Jesus saw these commandments not as onerous burdens, but as guideposts to help us experience a good and beautiful life. In this book of Scripture and inspiration, bestselling author Adam Hamilton brings modern eyes to the most important set of ethics in history. He considers the commandments in their historical context, considering the meaning of each commandment in Hebrew, unpacking how Jesus reinterpreted them, and showing how every thou-shalt-not was intended to point to a life-giving thou shalt. He also explores how the latest research in science and psychology illuminates these commandments, rightly understood, as a way of ordering one's life beautifully in the present day. In a culture marked by workaholism, materialism, and social media-driven envy, God has given us a time-tested path that leads to gratitude, confidence, and peace. This Youth Study Book takes the ideas presented in Adam Hamilton's book and interprets them for young people grades 6-12.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Adam Hamilton is senior pastor of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas, one of the fastest growing, most highly visible churches in the country.
