Deuteronomy

by John D. Maxwell

With great insight and power, Dr. John Maxwell shows us the pivotal importance of Moses' words not only to an Israel at the point of decision but to our modern world as well. If heeded, Moses' words would allow the people of God to reach their potential; if ignored, Israel's dreams would be dissolved. Deuteronomy appeals to a higher law and emphasizes obedience in worship, and Moses' urgent appeal and preaching style are fresh, alive, and applicable today as they were for the new nation of Israel.

Deuteronomy is a restatement of the law that has already been given to the Israelies. It was an easy read but slow because it was packed with so much material to think about. The book is about God being a jealous God who wishes to have our total worship. Deuteronomy tells us how to worship God. There is a descritpion of the various offering and sacrifices and the individual significance of each. Maxwell reminds us that as people age "they gain a sence of what really matters". Maxwell ends by telling us that "Moses was the first to prclaim the attributes of God, first to give us God' Law and the first to give the plan of education in the family." "Moses was a servant in the household of God, the coming Prophet was a Son, Jesus Christ".
