God's Rules for Holiness: Unlocking the Ten Commandments

by Peter Masters

Taken at face value the Ten Commandments are binding on all people, and will guard the way to Heaven so that evil will never spoil its glory and purity. But the Commandments are far greater than their surface meaning, as this book shows. They challenge Christians on a very wide range of sinful deeds and attitudes. They provide positive virtues as goals. And they give immense help for staying close to the Lord in the life of faith. Here readers will find a panoramic view of the standards and goals for God's people. The Commandments are vital for godly living and for greater blessing, but we need to enter into the panoramic view they provide of the standards and goals for redeemed people.

I put this one down for a little bit and restarted. Not sure why I stopped. Perhaps conviction caused me to pause for a bit. A deep dive into the 10 commandments show how we all break them all regularly! A must read for every serious christian

Wish I would have read this a long time ago. It is very convicting. I did read it slowly by choice. I wanted to take small bites at a time. This would make a great family devotional with older children.

This was an excellent exposition of how the Ten Commandments apply to the Christian life today.
