In a world where No one tells me what to do and I am my own
authority, the Ten Commandments quickly find their way to the trash
heap. For most of us, the words surrounding law--rule, restriction,
regulation, requirement, code, commandment, covenant, must, ought,
shall, will--are simply not our favorite words to hear. They are
parental words, court words, conflict words. We use them only when
we have to; otherwise, we willingly hold them at a distance. But
the Old Testament people of God had a different take on law. They
took their copy of the law their God had given them, clutched it to
their chests, and danced with it. They observed it daily in their
relationships and required their young to memorize it. And when a
copy of the law had grown ragged and old, they had a special
ceremony to retire it. They buried it with all the dignity of a
beloved grandparent's body. In Dancing with the Law, author Dan
Boone challenges us to, like the ancient people of God, look at law
as a sacred gift that points the way to the life God intended.
Through his earnest exploration of the Ten Commandments, he offers
us a new perspective on law--one that makes us dance with freedom,
liberty, and the gift of life.
