A BETTER TEN COMMANDMENTS: A GUIDE TO LIVING LIFE WITH, AND ON PURPOSE by JAMES MILLER.
Do we know better than God?
Is it our duty rather than a deities to make the most of our lives?
For the millions of non-believers and the rapidly growing number of religiously disaffected, A Better Ten Commandments filters through the chaos and confusion of everyday life and provides a foundational framework for finding fulfilment without taking anything on faith.
It combines the best from history and philosophy, religion and science in a simple yet powerful framework that you can incorporate into your life.
A Better Ten Commandments is about who we are, what we want, and what truly matters in life. The only life you can count on.
Love and respect,
James Miller.

Formulated in such a way as to offer an alternative perspective that isn't deity driven. Argue or disagree, if nothing else, the author's Better(?) Ten Commandments, as arguably provocative as it may be, provides much food for thought.
