The Ten Commandments are, to some, a list of rules. A list that even non-Christians can be very familiar with. But lists of rules don’t often make you feel close to God, happy, joyful, and full of life. Yet that is exactly what the Ten Commandments were given to Moses and the Israelites for; to give life and bring people closer to God.
Author Sean Gladding talks about the freedom that comes from following these rules in his book Ten: Words of Life for an Addicted, Compulsive, Cynical, Divided and Worn-out Culture. Ten gives the reader the ability to listen in on a conversation featuring a pastor and some friends discussing the issues of life today and how the Ten Commandments are still relevant and life-giving.
