From the Publisher

"Wonderful....This unusual book provides both food for thought and insight into the hopes and fears of today's young." (Booklist, October 1, 1996)"Gives a kid's-eye view of what matters in 1990s America." (Publishers Weekly, November 4, 1996)

Review

The 11th Commandment: Wisdom From Our Children gives a fresh, direct view of what God wants from as -- as interpreted by children. With their clear-eyed wisdom and down-to-earth openness in describing a complex world, these "commandments" make us think again about The Commandments, and how they apply to living in the '90s. In a national context, hundreds of commandments were submitted by children through their churches, synagogues, and religious camps for consideration. Commandments were chosen and brought together to create a many-faceted collection revealing children's thoughts and concerns about life, and exploring their ideas about how people should respond to God. Multicultural, nondenominational, and nonsectarian, The 11th Commandment vividly helps readers of all ages and backgrounds to understand the connections we share. Inspired and inspiring, The 11th Commandment makes a wonderful addition to any school, home, church, synagogue, or community library. -- Midwest Book Review

Wonderful....This unusual book provides both food for thought and insight into the hopes and fears of today s young. -- Booklist, October 1, 1996
