Have you ever wondered what the Old Testament--especially the Old Testament law--has to do with your Christian life? Some Christian leaders believe we should cast off the Old Testament now that we have the New. You are not alone.
In this warm, accessible volume, Imes takes readers back to Sinai, the ancient mountain where Israel met their God, and explains the meaning of events there. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees. She argues that we've misunderstood the command about taking the Lord's name in vain.

Readers will revisit the story of Israel as they trudge through the wilderness from a grueling past to a promising future. The story of Israel turns out to be our story too, and you'll discover why Sinai still matters as you follow Jesus
