Book Cover & Preview Text
Why are some rules so special that they are made into laws? Why do we need rules that everyone must obey? In short, what is the purpose of law?
If we did not live in a structured society with other people, laws would not be necessary. We would simply do as we please, with little regard for others. But ever since individuals began to associate with other people -- to live in society --laws have been the glue that has kept society together. For example, the law in Canada states that we must drive our cars on the right-hand side of a two-way street. If people were allowed to choose at random which side of the street to drive on, driving would be dangerous and chaotic. Laws regulating our business affairs help to ensure that people keep their promises. Laws against criminal conduct help to safeguard our personal property and our lives.

About the Author
Thomas Culpepper is a thirty seven year veteran of law enforcement, having retired as a chief of police. In addition to his experience, Thomas has served on mission teams to law enforcement in Central and South America. As a Bible believing Christian he has felt compelled to write about the origin of our laws and and their relations to our constitution. In today’s society we are often distracted from the foundations of our government by the current events. AS Americans and as Christians we need to be reminded of our heritage and the fact the we are a nation of laws and where those laws we derived. Thomas also served 15 years in the Army National Guard during the Cold War and Desert Storm. He currently resides in Cartersville, GA with his wife Vivian.
