Rating: Summary: Self help to succeed at obeying the Ten Commandments. Review: I am not usually thrilled with self-help books, but I bought this one. I think it was a wise purchase. It provides psychological reasons for keeping the Ten Commandments as they are written in Exodus. It gives reasons designed to motivate compliance. The Ten Challenges also provided a slant on the meaning of the words that is not available outside of Classical Hebrew. As with most all self-help books, it is meant to be read and reread, over and over again.
Rating: Summary: This book is very insightful and helpful. Review: I have taught this book in adult Sudnay School with excellent results. The book is structured in a way that makes teaching easy! I recommend it highly!
Rating: Summary: Bringing God's message to life Review: The Bible is the most analyzed and written-about piece of literature every produced. And of course, that is because it is so much more to many people. What is often lacking, however, is practical guidance for applying its teachings in today's hectic world. Leonard Felder manages to succeed where others rarely have. This book begins by acknowledging that most people, even religious followers, see the Ten Commandments as an archaic set of demands and implied threats forced down on a cowering people. Over the centuries, the interpretation of the Commandments has been so narrowed as to minimize their usefullness and application. Felder, prefering to refer to these as the "Ten Challenges," uses imagination and years of research to offer a practical and expanded interpretation that will help enrich one's life. I highly recommend this book to anyone, believers and non-believers alike, who are looking for greater meaning in life. This is a great place to start!
