How does one live a good life? Solomon's conclusion in Ecclesiastes was that we should fear God and adhere to his Ten Commandments. But how well did the teachings of Jesus follow these ancient commands? And did Jesus rely on the law of the Old Testament as he taught and preached or did he bring fresh ideas that instigated the writing of the New Testament? Mara Jane Cawein relies on her thorough analysis of the four gospels to present the Ten Commandments as taught and exemplified by Christ in order to examine the process of righteous living while guiding spiritual seekers to reflect on their own paths and relationships with God. Along with her inspiring stories, Cawein offers personal commentary that connects teachings from the Old and New Testaments, references to additional Bible verses and songs, thoughtful discussion questions, and ponderances that reflect on a variety of religious topics and ideas. Gospel Commands for Living a Good Life shares insight, wisdom, biblical references, and thought-provoking questions and ponderances that lead others through the Ten Commandments as taught and exemplified by Jesus in the gospels, with love for God and compassion for our neighbors.
