The Ten Commandments: Laws of the Heart
Author: Joan Chittister
Paperback, 5.5 x 8.25 inches, 152 pages.
Book Notes:
Are the Ten Commandments a set of rules, or a way of life? How does each one call us to reflect and to act? What does it mean to love God and neighbor in a world of violence and fear that threatens our lives and our souls?
Joan Chittister addresses these questions and more in this honest inquiry into what it means to be born in the image and likeness of God. She goes beyond the Ten Commandments to shed light on the Two Great Commandments, 'Love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself.'
Joan Chittister, a leading voice in contemporary spirituality for more than twenty-five years, is the author of many books, such as The Way We Were, There Is a Season, and Illuminated Life. When not traveling the world to speak on spiritual and moral issues, Sr. Joan lives in Erie, Pennsylvania with her small Benedictine community.
