You don't have to be a Jew or Christian to find profound truth in this book. It's loaded with common sense applications of the Ten Commandments. Feel intimidated, oppressed, or hindered by the Ten Commandments? Find out how they elevate us to a higher state of being, as individuals, and as a society. Think the Ten Commandments are rigid and outdated? Find out how they apply to our everyday living today, and how their absense are reflected in our society.

Commandments based on love, honor and respect

Many people are familiar with what we call the ¿The Ten Commandments.¿ On the outside they seem to be just a set of rules we are commanded to live by. Once you have read this book you will realize that the underlying concepts for these rules are in fact, based on love, honor and respect. We, as humans, have a free will to choose between good and evil. This book is an attempt to influence that choice towards good, i.e., God. Dr. Laura¿s words are beautiful and inspiring. You will feel challenged, enlightened and elevated. She also says you will experience these feelings when you have made the right choices in life. By explaining each of the commandments, she takes them to their fullest conceptualization. During this process you realize God¿s plan is to give us a meaningful, just, loving and even holy life. Each principle or commandment relates to either God, family, our fellow man, love, work, charity, property, speech or thought. These laws are simply a blueprint of God¿s expectations for mankind. Dr. Laura also deals with today's real-life issues of abortion, euthanasia, gossip, manipulative behavior, etc. This book will solidify within your heart the basic moral laws for all time. This will be a book you will want to read to help you deal with peer pressure, temptation and conflicted emotions. This is a book filled with moral lessons you can apply to your life immediately. I have learned that every decision I make can give meaning to my life or diminish it.

Except for the Bible itself...

I cannot recall when I last read a more meaningful and inspiring book than this. Written with compassion and an elegant simplicity that will warm the heart and stir the soul, Dr. Schlessinger and Rabbi Vogel gently guide the reader through a comprehensive exploration of the purpose and personal significance of each of God¿s commandments in our daily lives. There is no doubt that a thoughtful reading of this book and implementation of its wisdom will greatly increase the chances for a long, fulfilling, and meaningful life; indeed, the book is excellent reading for those who might find this outcome desirable, and it is a must reading for those who would doubt that such an outcome is possible. This book also would make a superb core textbook for a 'healthy- living' course in our nation's schools.
