Written in stone

Philip Graham Ryken believes that the Ten Commandments are an expression of God's eternal person and, therefore, are still binding today. In Written in Stone, the author explains the value of the Law for us: to convict us of our sins, to restrain sin in society, and to teach us how to live for Christ.

Dr. Ryken offers us basic principles for interpreting and putting God's Law into practice, and explains the holy words commandment by commandment, illustrating each one with a biblical story and relating it to the person and redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

This is a book to be read and enjoyed reflectively. God's holiness and his standards for life are clearly related, and the joy of living according to God's Law is vividly and clearly portrayed. Readers will find themselves examining their own lives, changing their ways, and rejoicing in God's grace.
