The Law for the Lawless: How to Restore Order in the Home, the Church, and the Nation

by David Mitzenmacher

In our current day, lawlessness seems to rule. For too long we have ignored God’s gracious means for having an orderly society and have rejected the power of God's law. This book recovers a vital yet neglected doctrine, the second use of God's moral law, as a means of restraining evil, upholding justice, and preserving order in a fallen world. Rooted in Scripture, historic Baptist confessions, and the wider Protestant tradition, it makes a clear God’s law still matters—not just in His church, but in His world.

With sharp clarity and rich application, Pastor David Mitzenmacher shows how God’s law shapes life in the home, the church, and the nation. Packed with real-world case studies and practical tools, The Law for the Lawless is essential listening for anyone seeking a moral anchor in an increasingly chaotic age.

While Gently and Lowly may be one of the books that American evangelicals most desire, this is one of the books they actually most need. Extremely clear and helpful. One of the best books I’ve read this year.
