I have been on my own spritual quest for several months now and happened upon his book at the Jewish Community Center Book Fair in Houston and picked up a copy after leafing thru the pages. His perspective on Judaism and the 10 Commandments spoke to a need that has been just below the surface of my consiousness for quite a while. I have found it very easy and rewarding to implement Dr. Felder's ideas into my own life. A must read for anyone struggling with how to cope with our increasingly hectic and overloaded world.

I was required to read this book for seminary, and I couldn't put it down once I'd begun. I've been non-religious most of my life, and I've scoffed at religious dogma, but Mr. Felder's treatment of the Ten Commandments, in which he makes each one totally relevant for today's life, completely changed the way I think and live. I recommend this book for everyone, not just someone on a particular spiritual path.

Excellent book for anyone seeking to gain in spirituality in their search for wholeness. Viewing the Ten Commandments in a different way ... as challenges. Hopefully will enable me to finally overcome childhood 'brainwashing' to accept a loving God and not a God of wrath. Excellent book to discuss in a book group setting with other like-minded individuals.

What a refreshing and stimulating book. In it the 10 Commandments are revisited with new light being shed on what God was truly asking of us. It has certainly stimulated my thought processes and brought new meaning and insights about my relationship to the Divine Creator. I highly recommend it.

This book came to me very highly recommended, and I think it's just okay. Some of the chapters taught me a lot that was new, some gave advice that seemed very common sense, and some of the chapters seemed to really stretch their subject matter in order to fit under that particular commandment. Some of his suggestions to improve your life he claims are sure fire--which struck me as arrogant, because they were not. Overall, it's not a bad book, but there's much better out there.
