Written in Stone: The Ten Commandments and Today's Moral Crisis
Publisher's Description
The Ten Commandments are the crystallization of God's law - but how do we apply them, and how do they relate to the gospel of sins forgiven? The church exists in a kind of moral limbo where we say we live under grace, yet still know that the commandments have to have a role in our lives somewhere. Where should we place them in our everyday lives, motives and attitudes? The commandments are an expression of God's character - this means that they provide foundational principles for how we relate to God and his plan for our lives.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“A timely and refreshing reminder of the importance of the Ten Commandments for a time of woeful ignorance of their content and implications for daily living.”
Ken Jones
Greater Union Baptist Church, Compton, CA
“A tour de force for our times and a much-needed word of clarity in a tie of moral confusion It serves as an antidote to contemporary misrepresentations of the Ten commandments and a powerful exhortation to biblical Christianity.”
R. Albert Mohler Jr
President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“One of the best popular, practical and Christ-centered treatments of God's comprehensive moral law available today. Providing the right balance between law and gospel, Ryken shows, primarily through the use of Bible stories and contemporary illustrations, how to use God's law as a mirror to expose our sin and a map to guide our conduct. Here you will find answers for today's moral crisis. Read this book slowly and prayerfully, then give copies to your friends.”
Joel Beeke
President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
