The Ten Commandments


Book Description

God's Ten Commandments as written in Exodus 20:3-17 have not changed. We have! For some, the true meaning of God's Ten Commandments has changed through their own interpretations, sometimes to fit their personal agenda. Some have ignored His Commandments through self-indulgence, self-gratification and personal motivations. Presented here are His same Commandments, researched to fully comprehend what else is included in each one throughout the Bible. The meaning of each one is now clarified. A revelation of how some Commandments reflect on one or more of the others is identified.The TEN COMMANDMENTS: IGNORED TOO LONG, NOW REVISITED is written to remind us how we changed God's law at some time to fit our justification. We have the opportunity to revisit God's Word and reacquaint ourselves with God's intended meaning. We were not created for our purpose in mind, but our creation is part of His Plan. Some have drifted from God, while others have either deliberately gone astray or may have thought of actions that are contrary to God's Word. Presenting the Commandments, researched and identified with examples of sinners, may help those in need.Now is the time to repent and allow God's Plan to fulfill our life. H. Chris Barber has spent over 50 years helping others through various means. However to continue that dream in helping others, he prayed for guidance in what was next. The answer came whereby that help to others was pursued by utilizing his experience and on-going education through writings and books. Proceeding that passion, Barber presents an in-depth and researched book on The Ten Commandments. Here, the reader can relate personal issues or those of others with the assurance that God is still present. Temptations are everyday hurdles, but knowing that God's presence remains, we can overcome those obstacles. Barber displays his tight and obedient relationship with God. All come short of the glory of God, but with persistence, we can align our lives back into His Plan.




The Ten Commandments Revisited


Book Description

Some people hate rules, and they are free to do so. God created humans with free will. But God doesn’t want us to run wild. The Ten Commandments, which are repeated several times in the Bible, give us a roadmap on how to live life. But they are more than a moral code—and they are concerned with more than just appropriate conduct, correct values, and social order. They are a prescription for holiness, a spiritual life, and a life of faith. Looking beyond their prohibitive language reveals something about the will of God. For example, “Honor your father and mother” can imply the notion that we should not dishonor them. “Do not steal” can imply the notion of sharing and giving. By revisiting the Ten Commandments, Tom Kingery runs each law through a sieve that includes four perspectives important to the journey of faith—moral, ethical, social, and spiritual. By doing so, he breathes new life into the ancient laws. Reading this book will shed light on the path we take as we walk with God in obedience and loyalty.







Leadership Reconsidered


Book Description

While books and articles on leadership abound, most of them are written by "successful" men who look at the world through the lens of a Western business model. The standard for success is based on the bottom line--financial growth in both the personal and corporate realms. This perspective has infected Christian leadership literature as well. In Leadership Reconsidered, Ruth A. Tucker calls for a revised definition--one that abandons the love of power and success for the eternal value of legacy. She challenges the assumption that a leader must by definition have followers, be an extrovert, crave recognition, and dominate others. Instead, legacy encompasses the values of behind-the-scenes influence that are available to everyone and last beyond the grave. This unique and refreshing perspective on leadership is accessible and engaging and will make an impact on anyone who takes it to heart.
