Edith Schaeffer has mined the rich, God-breathed wisdom of the Ten Commandments and applied it to the challenges of family life. Writing in the imaginative and endearing way that has won her millions of readers, Schaeffer opens the stone tablets presented to Moses and makes the precepts leap off the page for modern readers. You will turn again and again to this manual to feast of these rich and timeless truths. If you crave some good old-fashioned 'rules' for your life, you will find them in this biblically based 'instruction book.' Comprehensive and unconventional, this treatment of the Ten Commandments is positive and action-oriented, applying biblical principles to family living.
In this book, Mrs. Schaeffer shows that she really knows the scripture as she brings many passages to bear on each of the commandments. She also demonstates that she understood the culture of her times, so, while she meanders widely in each chapter, her rabbit trails are enjoyable to follow. While she doesn't talk too directly about instructing children, she does stress how important it is that the next generation cling to the words of God in the face of a godless culture.
