After setting the people of Israel free from bondage in Egypt, God spoke Ten Words to promote and protect the freedom of His people. Ten words that were crucial in forming Israel's identity as a newly liberated nation, rescued from slavery in Egypt, breathing the fresh air of freedom for the first time.Today these Ten Words are famously known as the Ten Commandments.In a day of increasing moral ambiguity and uncertainty, in the midst of the cacophony of differing voices and differing visions of the good life, these Ten Words are an invitation into a life of true human flourishing.For those seeking right relationship with God and others.For those looking for guidance in a fractured and broken world.For those longing for moral clarity in all the confusion.God gives us these Ten Commandments.Ten Words endorsed by the Creator of all things.Ten Words that reflect His character to us.Ten Words designed by the Creator to bring freedom and life to His people.That You May Live walks the reader through the power and continued relevance of the Ten Commandments for us today.

Nearly two thousand years ago a young Jewish rabbi known as Jesus of Nazareth was nailed to wooden beams and hoisted above the skyline of the city of Jerusalem. Christians ever since have proclaimed that this event, symbolized by the cross, lies at the very center of their faith. Indeed, they have claimed that in the cross event God has actually "saved the world." But how could a single man's execution centuries ago have anything to do with us in the twenty-first century? In these meditations, Darrell Johnson probes the mystery and majesty of the cross, exploring it from various angles and illuminating this core belief of Christian faith in its multiple dimensions.
