Living the Ten Commandments in New Times : A Book for Teens

Description of Living the Ten Commandments in New Times:

Each of the 10 Commandments is perfectly formulated common sense that is totally relevant to current times, and popular author Bettie Youngs lifts the veil one by one to reveal the facts and purpose behind each principle. Most teens see the 10 Commandments as a bunch of old rules that no longer apply to them, but once the mystery is removed, it becomes clear that they are as meaningful today as ever before. Adept at making sense of issues at the heart of young adults, Youngs shows how each commandment is an integral part of the foundation for moral and spiritual conduct, as well as for peace and prosperity. This is a highly relevant book that will help teens live in peace, harmony and safety with each other and with God.

What do you think of when you consider the Ten Commandments? Are they antiquated and out-of-date, or are they still incredibly pertinent to your life? How do the Commandments "speak" to you from the moment you get out of bed until your jam-packed and stress-filled day of responsibilities ends? Do they define the boundaries for the choices you make? How do they sustain you in times of crisis -- such as the loss of a loved one, a personal set-back, confronting a disability or even a terminal illness? As a young adult, life is unfolding for you: You're seeing yourself not just as a bystander in life, but as an active participant -- and maybe even a leader. How can you make such an exciting stage of life more fun, satisfying and purposeful? God's ten laws can show you the way to meaning, gratitude, peace. Throughout these pages, you'll take a walk through each of God's Commandments and learn of His love behind each one.
