Overall pretty good. I like how he combines idea of discipline and grace in the 10 commandments. Could be helped by a bit more of a Christocentric reading

Found this book in the library as I researched the ten commandments for a talk I was preparing. It was the most helpful of a small selection available in my public library. Best quote "The modern world and indeed much of Christianity have reversed the order of the two tables of the Law and have scrambled their clauses, so that Jesus' summation is twisted to read: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, namely,thou shalt love God as thyself.'" Very tempting to current pop psychologists. The best resource was good ole J.I. Packer's The Ten Commandments, but I didn't read the whole book this time.

Hughes does a well-balanced job or reflecting on the theology and practical implications of the ten commandments. The idea of grace for each commandment seems a bit of an add-on, but his approach is well thought out. Reflection on the ten commandments and their application for today is desperately needed in our hedonistic, subjective culture.

I haven't read many books focused on the 10 commandments. Shows the relevancy of them for Christians today.
