These and other questions are answered in the exquisitely illustrated and child-friendly book.In The Commandments of God, children learn about the laws God revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai in easily understandable and relatable language. Popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. also teaches children about their obligations to the Catholic Church in light of the Ten Commandments and how this connects to their daily lives.
