Claiming that a human-centered Constitution leads to government by reductive moral theory and illegitimate judicial review, he advocates a return to traditional jurisprudence and a God-centered Constitution grounded in English common law and its precedents.

Because children are growing up quickly in a society that raises serious and agonizing questions the author does not teach in naive stories that remain stories only. It offers an overview of the whole of the Old and New Testaments as well as instruction on prayer, worship and what it means to live by the teaching of the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. Lavishly bound and made to last. Well illustrated with black and white photographs and icons.

Despite recent reforms, the United States locks up large numbers of people—disproportionately poor and nonwhite—for long periods and offers little opportunity for restoration. Aaron Griffith reveals a key component in the origins of American mass incarceration: evangelical Christianity. Evangelicals in the postwar era made crime concern a major religious issue and found new platforms for shaping public life through punitive politics. Religious leaders like Billy Graham and David Wilkerson mobilized fears of lawbreaking and concern for offenders to sharpen appeals for Christian conversion, setting the stage for evangelicals who began advocating tough-on-crime politics in the 1960s. Building on religious campaigns for public safety earlier in the twentieth century, some preachers and politicians pushed for “law and order,” urging support for harsh sentences and expanded policing. Other evangelicals saw crime as a missionary opportunity, launching innovative ministries that reshaped the practice of religion in prisons. From the 1980s on, evangelicals were instrumental in popularizing criminal justice reform, making it a central cause in the compassionate conservative movement. At every stage in their work, evangelicals framed their efforts as colorblind, which only masked racial inequality in incarceration and delayed real change. Today evangelicals play an ambiguous role in reform, pressing for reduced imprisonment while backing law-and-order politicians. God’s Law and Order shows that we cannot understand the criminal justice system without accounting for evangelicalism’s impact on its historical development.

This book is focused on the understanding of Gods Law, which He gave to the children of Israel, and which He Himself has written on the two tablets of stone, but has been perverted by the Scribes. However, it was straightened by Jesus Christ in His teachings and prayer, and in His dialogues with the leaders of Jewish religion. May this book be a benefit to every reader who will surely be led by the Holy Spirit to obey what the Lord has commanded and will not be confused by human teachings, which have many times been perverted from the Word of the Lord.

Through you, 10 million souls will be saved." Virginia thought, "Only 10,000,000 souls?" God answered, "10 x 10 million souls will be saved through you. Everyone in the world will know who you are." Virginia, then a 42-year-old single mother, raising three children, and working in her successful real estate business, ignored this calling from God. Years later, after the passing of her husband of 45 years, and her two daughters, she wrote her first book, Virginia O'Hare's Trials, Triumphs, and Vision from God. Two years after its publication, tragedy struck her life again. She witnessed her only son, Robert Anthony, being brutally assaulted by three Sheriff's Deputies in her own home. They had forced their way into the house, without a search warrant, and ignored her son's civil, and Constitutional rights. The nightmare of seeing her son bloody, bruised and in shock, terrified her. Fighting for her son's life and seeking justice, became her quest, which led to the birth of this book. She vividly details the horrible acts of corruptness, bias, and politics, in the Lake County Judicial System in Tavares, Florida. At age 80, God again revealed Himself to Virginia. He told her to remind the world that His Ten Commandments are forever, and the End of Days are here. Our Founding Fathers birthed Man's Laws in the U.S. Constitution, based on the Bible and God's Ten Commandments. Since then, man has failed to create, amend, and enforce laws that conform to God's laws. The Holy Spirit inspired Virginia's writing of this biblical journey. From God's Creation of the world 6000 years ago to the End of Days and beyond, Holy Scriptures document the prophetic message that Jesus Christ is mandatory for mankind's salvation, and He is coming very soon!

What's Divine about Divine Law? untangles the classical and biblical roots of the Western idea of divine law and shows how early adherents to biblical tradition—Hellenistic Jewish writers such as Philo, the community at Qumran, Paul, and the talmudic rabbis—struggled to make sense of this conflicting legacy. Christine Hayes shows that for the ancient Greeks, divine law was divine by virtue of its inherent qualities of intrinsic rationality, truth, universality, and immutability, while for the biblical authors, divine law was divine because it was grounded in revelation with no presumption of rationality, conformity to truth, universality, or immutability. Hayes describes the collision of these opposing conceptions in the Hellenistic period, and details competing attempts to resolve the resulting cognitive dissonance. She shows how Second Temple and Hellenistic Jewish writers, from the author of 1 Enoch to Philo of Alexandria, were engaged in a common project of bridging the gulf between classical and biblical notions of divine law, while Paul, in his letters to the early Christian church, sought to widen it. Hayes then delves into the literature of classical rabbinic Judaism to reveal how the talmudic rabbis took a third and scandalous path, insisting on a construction of divine law intentionally at odds with the Greco-Roman and Pauline conceptions that would come to dominate the Christianized West. A stunning achievement in intellectual history, What's Divine about Divine Law? sheds critical light on an ancient debate that would shape foundational Western thought, and that continues to inform contemporary views about the nature and purpose of law and the nature and authority of Scripture.

A short biography is followed by a more detailed account of the transfer of his remains in 1998. In his writing he shows us that God's law is placed into man's soul to "guide all of his life and activities." The law of is thus revealed not as an external impersonal moral code but as a personal, life giving reality for the believer. Altogether the book has thirty short chapters of instruction on topics ranging from "Freedom of Will" to "Emotional Development" and "The Necessity of Prayer."
