The Ten Commandments from the Back Side: Bible Stories with a Twist

While the Ten Commandments are known throughout the world, it's not often that we are offered a fresh take on them. Popular and beloved author J. Ellsworth Kalas approaches the Ten Commandments through the back side--through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new lens, or the eyes of a minor character. Kalas explores how these prohibitive laws actually are our dear friends, intended to make life richer and more fulfilling. He uses contemporary illustrations and personal experience to show how these timeless laws give us an appetite for divine excellence.
