      Preface

      It was my pleasure writing The Ten Commandments in Poems. I was inspired to write this book following the personal satisfaction I received in composing my previous book, The Beatitudes in Poems. The book contains 12 poems with one on each of the Ten Commandments along with an introductory and closing poem. Each poem is accompanied by a religious picture or nature scene. The Matthew Henry Commentary was used as a resource for the interpretation of Scripture.
