Defending the Ten Commandments is a thoughtful and engaging Christian children’s book that brings God’s moral law to life through vivid storytelling and everyday situations. Written in a clear, reverent style, this book follows a young boy named Daniel as he lovingly and courageously explains each of the Ten Commandments to a skeptical classmate through real-life encounters at school, at play, and among friends.

Rather than presenting the commandments as outdated restrictions, this book shows them as expressions of God’s wisdom, goodness, and care. Each chapter focuses on one commandment, illustrating how it applies not only to outward actions but also to the heart—teaching children that obedience flows from loving the Lord, not merely following rules.

Rooted firmly in Scripture and historic Christian teaching, Defending the Ten Commandments helps children understand:

 

• Why God’s law still matters today

• How the commandments protect life, truth, family, and worship

• The difference between man-made rules and God’s eternal Word

• How God’s law points us to our need for grace and mercy in Christ

 

Perfect for family reading, homeschooling, Christian schools, and church use, this book equips children to think biblically, speak graciously, and stand firm in a world that often dismisses God’s truth.
