Details Product Description The Ten Commandments are a gift from God, intended to protect and bless His people. Yet there is so much confusion and misunderstanding regarding these ten timeless truths. How could something so good be so offensive? In this book, Pat Robertson takes a fresh, penetrating look at the benefits of honoring the Ten Commandments--both personally and as a nation. From the Inside Flap The Ten Commandments were given to protect and bless. From 1607, they were regarded as the foundational pillars of the civic and religious life of our nationa. Since 1947, an out-of-control judiciary has decreed an ongoing vendetta against our religious heritage. In 1980, the Supreme Court forbade public schools to expose school children to commandments that we Americans knew were vital to their education--"You shall not murder"; "You shall not steal"; "You shall not give false testimony"; "Honor your father and your mother."Thinking people are outraged. How have commandments that we regarded as blessings suddenly become unlawful--in fact, Ten Offenses? The facts set forth in this groundbreaking book will shock and amaze you. Pat Robertson will lay out for you step by step the insidious movements which brought about the loss of our religious heritage. You will learn of landmark court cases and the havoc judicial decisions have brought upon our nation. The Ten Offenses calls on all the people of America to look at the evidence--the hijacking of our democracy by activist judges, the rampant violence, the multiple addictions, the moral decadence of the media, the stealing and lying that have been revealed in corporate America. Then Robertson takes a fresh, penetrating look at each of the Ten Commandments so that we might rediscover the inestimable value of these timeless laws. What are the benefits of honoring God's laws, both personally and as a nation? What are the dangers if we break them? Here is an action plan to reclaim the blessings of God's eternal truths while there is still time.
