| They are often mistakenly considered God's "rules"his outdated list of do's and don'ts that add up to a guilt-ridden, legalistic way of life. But as beloved author and Bible scholar J. I. Packer probes the purpose and true meaning of the Ten Commandments, readers will gladly discover that these precepts can aptly be called God's design for the best life possible. They contain the wisdom and priorities anyone needs for relational, spiritual, and societal blessingand it's all coming from a loving heavenly Father who wants the best for his children.Not only does Packer deliver these truths in brief, readable segments, but he includes discussion questions and ideas for further study at the end of each chapter. This book will challenge readers to view the commandments with new eyes and help them to understand--perhaps for the first timethe health, the hope, and the heritage we're offered there. |

| Keith Carradine and Annette O'Toole star in Keeping the Promise, a powerful family drama adapted from the best-selling novel The Sign Of The Beaver, by Elizabeth George Speare, that has become required reading in schools throughout the country. This film begins as a hopeful tale of a colonial family seeking a new and promising life in Maine's wilderness in 1768. Their hopes, dreams, and family survival are severely tested when the father reluctantly leaves his thirteen-year-old son, Matt, alone in the wilderness to protect their claim until he returns with the rest of the family. Weeks of waiting turn into months and months into seasons as his family struggles against a deadly epidemic and other hardships in their journey to rejoin their son. Young Matt's ability to survive his lonely and dangerous vigil becomes more questionable with each passing day, until a band of Penobscot Indians befriend him. The experience transforms Matt as his Indian benefactors teach him life's most important lessons about survival, trust, loyalty and hope. |
