What is the purpose of the Ten Commandments? What is significant about each one? Where is Mount Sinai? How far is it from the Red Sea? How many days did it take God to appear to the people and give Moses the Ten Commandments? Why did Aaron make a golden calf and not something else? Why did God want to destroy the Hebrews before they had even recieved the stone tablets? Who wrote the Laws on the tablets? What does it mean when scripture says Moses was "horned"? Do the Ten Commandments have any meaning today? This commentary answers those questions and more providing an analysis of each Commandment and describing the process by which God contracts with the Hebrews to make them His own forever. It is a dramatic story, about which, most are only familiar with a few key elements. For example, most people probably don't realize that at one point Moses was in line to become Pharaoh of Egypt. This analysis offers some additional background and explanation in an attempt to enhance the scriptural narrative of one small, but important moment in the development of Judaism and Christianity. It also offers commentary on the meaning of the commandments as they apply in a modern world filled with wonders and issues that didn't exist, or could be imagined in Moses time.

Cold and cramped, Arno found himself riding in a closed boxcar on one of Himmler's death trains. He hadn't thought beyond the killing part of his plan. He deviated only slightly. His inexperience in trying to help a friend was a subversive act. Perhaps, if he had left the country sooner he would be on a different train. Now, there would be no way to help his father. In the camps he and his father would experience firsthand the insanity of the new German State which would devour even its own citizens to achieve its goals. Arno was only ten years old living in Nuremberg when Hitler came to power. Though his family was Lutheran, he learned quickly about anti-Semitism growing up in the heart of Nazism. He witnessed the rallies, deportations, the Kristallnacht pogrom and Himmler's death trains. When his father was sentenced to Dachau by a revenge seeking Nazi blockleiter, Arno planned his revenge. He joined the Hitler Youth and later the SD, the intelligence arm of the SS. There Arno's subversive activities would cause him to be imprisoned in Buchenwald, where his own life would hang in the balance between the brutality of the SS and Allied air raids. This is a tale of life, death, love and survival in a nation gone mad focused on two things; power and the annihilation of an entire race of people. We know from film, photographs and documents that Nazi concentration camps were horrible, cruel and inhuman. Those images and accounts, however, are oftentimes void of the individual brutality and utter lack of sensitivity to human suffering that occurred beyond the range of cameras. They Sang Louder reveals in story form some of those incidents we don't hear about, as viewed and experienced through the eyes a young boy and his family. These were German citizens dangerously struggling to live normal lives in a country they loved, yet secretly opposed to Hitler and his Nazi regime.

It has been five years since the lunar drilling accident and two years since survivalist Richard Phelps has seen a living thing, other than his wife and dog. Yet, he could see five men moving along the creek bed eight hundred feet below the bluff that had been his home for the past twenty-six months. Longing to remain undetected, he hopes they will move on. He wonders if his AeroStream camper's silver reflection in the distance among the dead vegetation is the reason they have come. He knows there will be trouble when the men begin making their ascent toward his position at the top of the ridge. "I should have painted that damned camper sooner." he scolded himself. They claim the three men killed in the drilling accident on the Moon was nothing more than a gas pocket explosion. But when it is realized the gas contains mostly water in the form of steam, Emma Cross' masters' thesis suddenly makes her the lead GPATT lunar geologist, none of which would be happening if Earth's copper hadn't been depleted. Emma's investigation isn't limited to the drilling accident. She is also cataloguing strange phenomenon attributed to global warming which is threatening civilization. Not convinced global warming is the cause, Emma makes a discovery that may explain the reason for the disaster which has stricken the planet, but humanity is already on the brink of annihilation. Escape to the orbiting platforms seem the only safe havens, or will they become orbiting tombs?
