Few pieces of writing, if any, have shaped our world in the way that the Ten Commandments have. Thousands of years after God first gave them to Moses and Israel, they remain one of the most discussed and most memorized texts in history.

But are they revered? Are they obeyed? Are they loved? Even those who know the commandments well may struggle to see how they apply to Christians living “not under law but under grace” (Rom 6:14). How and why would a follower of Jesus today share the words of the psalmist: “Oh how I love your law” (Ps 119:97)?

In Written on Our Hearts, longtime pastor and preacher Phillip Jensen takes readers into the mind of the eternal, unchanging God who authored the commandments. Jensen shows that the commandments are not only relevant for today’s world, but also central to the transformation of mind, heart and life that God desires for his people.

Here is a radical vision of grace-filled living that delights in the law of the Lord and does good to all people.

“This book will grab you with the grace of God so that the law of God, written on your heart, will make you zealous for good works. I found it deeply informative and wonderfully written—though challenging, because it requires real engagement. It is a solid and hearty meal, not a snack. It powerfully describes what good actually is, and who determines what is good and bad. It sets out clearly the way in which we should understand that God’s purpose is to draw unto himself a people who will be his, and how he redeems them through Christ and Christ alone, in order that they might be good people who are zealous for him, one another, and all that is good.” - From the Foreword by John Anderson, Deputy Prime Minister of Australia 1999–2005
