Precepts to live by
A man travels to Jerusalem and finds 10 new commandments. Assuming they are supposedly the lost part of the 10 commandments, he sets out to teach them to his college students. I received this book from Goodreads for free.

This book takes the reader on a philosophical reflection about spirituality and humankind; shades of The Celestine Prophecy.
The lost commandments end up being (in my opinion) esoteric goals unachievable in reality. However, an interesting read with a movable plot.

The book was overall an easy read and to follow along. The first half is a story and takes a bit before he even gets into the commandments which was kind of annoying. But otherwise the message was overall very powerful and insightful.

I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads giveaway, but I was not required to provide a review.
Positives:
1) It is an intriguing idea
2) Quick and entertaining read
3) Makes you really think about how you should be living your life
Negatives:
1) Cannot think of any at the moment
Conclusion:
I am glad I read it and has made me think about some thing in a slightly different manner. Since it is short I may read it again down the road to see if there is more information that I can come out of it with.
