Description: If we avoid killing, do not work in Sunday, steer clear of profanity, and get along with our parents, are we in good shape? Or misguided?

Whether you suspect they're in the Bible or recite them in church, you'll find this eye-opening look at the Ten Commandments pivotal in your relationship with God. Why? Because His commandments reveal life's meaning and clarify the importance of our relations with others. When God spoke from the fire on Mt. Sinai, He showed His love and mercy by steering us from self-destruction. He also prepared our hearts to live for his glory.

Join with Dr. Al Mohler as he uncovers the crucial ideas behind each commandment and relates them to life today. Along the way you may be surprised at the wisdom and intent buried in these timeless words. For example . . .

  • Our worship betrays our theology. Does yours point to the God revealed in Scripture?
  • Taking God's name in vain has little to do with unspeakable words. Rather, it derives from misrepresenting his reputation.
  • Sabbath-breaking was serious business for Israel. Is it the same for us? If so, does it mean Saturday or Sunday? And what about the Lord's Day? Is that the Sabbath? Are there things we ought not to do on that day? is it even possible to obey the fourth commandment?
  • If the sixth commandment prohibits killing, why is the Bible such a blood-drenched book? Is God so violent and cruel? And what about war and capital punishment? Are we above reproach if we've not actually killed anyone?
  • Which command features the most revolutionary economic theory of all--so radical that churches hardly seem able to understand or practice it? And what does this same command reveal about communism?

"Al Mohler is like a biblical prophet of old speaking into a modern-day wilderness of confusion and compromise. In this exposition of the Ten Commandments, he is following in a train of faithful Christian ministers who used the ten words (along with the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer) to teach 'Christianity 101.' But there are riches here for those both new to and mature in the faith. Read and grow."

Ligon Duncan, Senior Minister, First Prebyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi

"If we are to know God, He must speak--and He has! In Words From The Fire, Al Mohler Jr. carefully and clearly reveals to us the God who spoke int he Ten Commandments. This book is exegetically sound and theologically solid. I never hear or read Al that I am not blessed and challenged. Reading this book was no exception."
Dr. Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
