Some believe the Commandments are outdated, irrelevant today.  Are they, or do they provide direction for the decisions you make and boundaries for choices you make—whether in choosing friends, love, work or goals?  In this nationally award winning book for all ages, Pulitzer Prize nominated author Bettie Youngs, Ph.D., lifts the veil one by one of each Commandment to reveal the facts behind them, why and how each one guards something that is of the greatest importance to your welfare; how each is perfectly formulated common sense showing us how to prosper, be victorious, and live in peace and harmony with others.

"Too many people worry about the Ten commandments hanging on a wall, when the real issue is having them alive in our hearts. This book gives blood, pulse and soul to those rules to live by."— Terry Pluto author and columnist, Akron Beacon Journal

"Just recently some students at my school got into a conversation about the commandments. One girl rolled her eyes and said, “Oh please, nobody believes in those anymore!” But two days later when I told her something, she asked, “Is that really true? Do you swear on a stack of Bibles?” It just goes to show you that when we’re looking for ultimate truth, we still trust the Biblical truths."

"After my first boyfriend and I broke up, I discovered that while we were still together, he was also seeing another girl. Once he’d made her his new girl, he broke things off with me. I was hurt and felt so betrayed: What gave him the right to think it was okay for him to hold my hand, kiss me and tell me sweet things when he wasn’t being genuine with me? If I’d been dating someone who lived according to the principles spelled out in the commandments, he’d have had the courage to talk things over with me, giving the both of us a chance to end our relationship on good and true terms—even if his leaving broke my heart. Are the commandments still relevant? Well, you know, they’re just incredible common sense about how we’re to love, live with and treat each other. That should never go out of style."
