A CHECKLIST OF NEW TESTAMENT COMMANDMENTS “As a long time television producer and host, I am required to consider hundreds of books each year for my daily Homekeepers program. No one has ever made the profound impact on my own life like Dr. Esther V. Shekher and her books, ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, Volumes 1 and 2. The first time I looked through them, I realized that she has highlighted an important “truth”, sorely needed in the church today. Volume 2 dissects the writings of the Apostle Paul spotlighting the blessings of obedience along with the consequences of disobedience. These books, uniquely formatted, are a refreshing rain in a desert of writings about earthly prosperity and “self” fulfillment. They offer a valuable Biblical resource whether used for personal benefit, a group setting or pulpit series.” Arthelene Rippy CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK The Holy Bible emphasizes that blessings of God will overtake us only when we obey God’s commandments. There is nothing more important than obeying the commandments of God and thereby receiving all the blessings of God! Some of the important topics covered in this divinely inspired book are: • How not to live in the futility of your mind • Salvation, the gift of God and not of your works • Take your stand against the devil’s schemes • Supernatural occurrences during the rapture and second coming of Christ— be rapture ready • You are complete in Christ • Walk worthy of your calling • Jesus accepts you just as you are This practical book will definitely be a blessing to all those who read it, especially to those who long for a much deeper walk with the Lord.

A History of the Ten Commandments with a Modern Moral Code traces the way the Ten Commandments God gave to Moses on Mt. Sinai in the 13th century BC changed through the ages, analyzing the seventeen versions of the Decalogue which now exist. The author also presents a moral code which is related to the Mosaic Decalogue but is not religious and should, therefore, be acceptable for public display in the secular world. The book features photographs of plaques depicting the Ten Commandments, with interesting eleven commandment variations, on display throughout the country. Written for a broad audience ranging from Sunday school teachers and scholars to the average reader, this book is essential reading for those seeking to discover information about the greatest document in human history and wanting to learn about a new moral standard desperately needed in the ethically corrupt world of the present day.

This book explains each Sundays gospel reading at mass; that is, each of the books essays means to show what the author wanted to convey to his audience through his writing. These essays, intentionally kept brief, are not homilies, but they clarify the evangelists mind and intention in his gospel preaching. We hope that this book will help the Catholic, whether in the pew or in the pulpit, to appreciate the wisdom of each Sundays gospel.

The gospel is being preached, however, the Bible makes it clear that it is the “truth of the gospel” that has to be proclaimed to the world before it ends and warns of those preaching a “different gospel.” This true gospel was being followed when Christ’s followers were first called Christians after He left earth and only those adhering to this same gospel will be translated when He returns. In a thoughtful word-by-word commentary on the most famous and most quoted verse in the Bible, Randy Barnes, with no denominational predisposition, shows how a correct understanding of John 3:16 clearly illuminates this identical gospel when the paradigms of customs and traditions are eliminated from its interpretations. Using biblical hermeneutics and contextual juxtaposition as tools, Barnes shows how the Bible gives its own interpretation of not only of John 3:16, but all other verses, as well. Using only scriptural references, Barnes demonstrates how God has used both the Jewish and Christian faiths to spread the story of the true gospel to the world by examining over two dozen doctrinal issues—from the earth’s creation to its recreation, from the books of Genesis to Revelation. The book is formatted with both a comprehensive table of contents and an exhaustive index to enable its use as reference for Bible study. Supplemental information such as diagrams and illustrations are also included to assist in your reading enjoyment. Christians will find excellent support for foundational principles as well as be challenged in much traditional thinking.

This work focuses on divine command, and in particular the theory that what makes something obligatory is that God commands it, and what makes something wrong is that God commands us not to do it. Focusing on the Abrahamic faiths, eminent scholar John E. Hare explains that two experiences have had to be integrated. The first is that God tells us to do something, or not to do something. The second is that we have to work out ourselves what to do and what not to do. The difficulty has come in establishing the proper relation between them. In Christian reflection on this, two main traditions have emerged, divine command theory and natural law theory. Hare successfully defends a version of divine command theory, but also shows that there is considerable overlap with some versions of natural law theory. He engages with a number of Christian theologians, particularly Karl Barth, and extends into a discussion of divine command within Judaism and Islam. The work concludes by examining recent work in evolutionary psychology, and argues that thinking of our moral obligations as produced by divine command offers us some help in seeing how a moral conscience could develop in a way that is evolutionarily stable.
