Publisher's summary

The most important words ever written are the Ten Commandments. These words changed the world when they were first presented at Mt. Sinai to Israelites, and they are changing it now. They are the foundation stones of Western civilization.

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. Our schools ignore them and our churches and synagogues take them for granted. 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. 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.

That's a lot to ask of a short book, but the only thing that's short here is the length. The ideas are very big.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Everyone should read and follow this.

What/Who does our objective law stand on? Is slavery justified in the Bible? What keeps a society intact?

it's a good listen.

I just finished Happiness Is A Serious Problem by Dennis Prager and enjoyed it so much I decided to obtain the audible version of another book of his. I wasn't disappointed. He delivered a well thought out explanation of the commandments and related it to today's person.

Best explaining of the 10 Commandments

This book is the best explanation of the 10 Commandments anyone could read. No matter your background you will take something away from it. Short but very sweet.

Everybody should listen and learn !

Great educational material for a better world. I learned extensively about the Ten Commandments in my younger years, but this was far superior to any knowledge I acquired earlier.

Another great Dennis Prager book!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would, it brings light to the importance of the ten commandments and how they help form a just society.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It brought understanding of stealing, jealousy, and how following the ten commandments can help society.

Explained beautifully

I have long believed that the missing link causing our societal problems today is the lack of exposure to the
10 Commandments.
Thank you so much for writing this book and putting it out to refresh those of us remember those days. I just finished listening to it, and now I’m going to listen to it again.
I just read the customer review guidelines and realize this is more of an observation and thank you note. But I’m going to let it stand. Thank you again for your clear sighted information.
