Ten Commandments - Where religion got it wrong

Most people have heard of the Ten Commandments. Few have actually read them. Fewer still have asked what they mean outside the framework of the religious institutions that built their authority around them.

In The Ten Commandments: Where Religion Got It Wrong, J.P. Longenecker does what most authors in this space won't - he takes the text at face value, strips away centuries of tradition, and follows the truth wherever it leads. From the first commandment to the last, he examines what was actually written, what was actually meant, and what organized religion has done with it since.

This is not an attack on God. It is an honest look at what happens when human institutions take divine instruction and bend it to serve their own purposes. It is for the believer who has felt something was off but couldn't name it. For the skeptic who walked away from church but never stopped thinking about what was left behind. For anyone who ever sat in a pew and wondered if the version they were being given was the whole story.

Direct, unflinching, and grounded in scripture, The Ten Commandments: Where Religion Got It Wrong is the first book in The Uncomfortable Truth Series - because the truth has never needed permission to be true.
