Plot

We live in a world of illusions, of computerized special effects and political posturing, of marketing slogans and fake smiles. In fact, modern culture has so embraced the illusory that we have lost touch with the authentic, leaving us impoverished lives, sorely lacking meaning, value, and joy.God had a different plan. Thousands of years ago, He provided humanity with a remarkably simple code for achieving authentic living. With no clutter, no confusion, and no political qualifiers, God spelled out a handful of directives that define a quality of life-real life-with real applications to real situations.For thousands of years, the Ten Commandments have been mocked, ridiculed, abused, broken, and misunderstood. Modern sentiment would love to relegate God's law to the dustbin of history, as a relic of an old and repressive way of life. But is that accurate, or even fair? Are the Ten Commandments designed to suppress, or, as James Emery White contends, to enrich? In this refreshing new examination, White explores how the timeless revelation of God points each of us towards an authentic human experience.If you've grown disillusioned with the fakery, the failures, and the disappointments of a superficial life, take heart. You are ten chapters away from discovering the way to living life to the fullest-the Authentic Life.
