Ten Commandments

Innovatively weaving a fictional story line, personal testimony and biblical commentary together to illuminate each of the ten commandments in a truly meaningful way that relates to such contemporary issues as racism, the environment and child abuse, Ten Commandments, hosted by Adrian Snell, offers ample rewards to viewers. In the episode on the 4th commandment, for instance, regarding observance of the Sabbath, the story of a workaholic, coupled with the testimony of a fashion model, together support Snell's artfully developed commentary on what it means to observe the Sabbath today. In addition to tracing the origins of keeping the Sabbath, the program offers insights into the benefits of resting to prepare for God's word and relaxing with families. Following the same pattern, each episode (with two episodes on each tape) explores the many layers of meaning within each commandment as it relates to God, ourselves, our neighbors and our environment. Handsomely produced, and anchored by sophisticated and timely testimony, this memorable series is highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: P. (J. Reed)
