Synopsis
Learn how to answer God's call to action with this "wonderful, inspirational book that reinforces how one simple gesture, one small act of kindness, can make an enormous difference" (Laura Schroff, New York Times bestselling author of An Invisible Thread).
FINDING YOUR WAY BACK TO A MORE PASSIONATE FAITH- ONE SMALL DECISION AT A TIME!
Do you sometimes feel as if your faith has gone flat? Does your spiritual life feel listless and boring? Perhaps you've unconsciously drifted toward what Clare De Graaf calls beige Christianity. You go to church, attend a Bible study, and even volunteer, but there's no spark anymore--no joy in your spiritual walk. You may not understand what is happening to your faith, but you do know that you long for something more.
If you want to break out of this spiritual gerbil cage and begin living the adventure Jesus intends for you, the place to begin again is living by The 10-Second Rule: Just do the next thing you're reasonably certain Jesus wants you to do (and do it within the next ten seconds before you change your mind!).
The Rule is like a spiritual defibrillator! Just a few chapters in, you'll begin to experience the excitement of making yourself available to God 24-7, and impacting the lives of everyone around you, even total strangers. All over the world, Christians just like you are returning to the simple faith of Jesus and living by the 10-Second Rule. In living by the Rule, you'll rediscover the revolutionary power of simple obedience as Jesus taught it, the early church lived it, and before religious Christianity tamed it.
Finally, a rule you'll love keeping!

About the Author
Clare DeGraaf is a follower of Jesus, an elder, Bible teacher, and blogger. For more than thirty years, he’s been a full-time spiritual mentor of men all over the world—from college students to business and church leaders. At age thirty-one, a crisis of faith led Clare to reject his cultural Christianity, sell his successful manufacturing business, and devote the balance of his life to serving God. Clare and his wife, Susan, live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and are the parents of six children and grandparents of fifteen.

The 10-Second Rule
Just do the next thing you’re reasonably certain Jesus wants you to do.
[and commit to it immediately–in the next 10 seconds—before you change your mind!]
“If you love me, you will obey what I command.”
—JOHN 14:15
The Lay of the Land
I’ve divided this book into three parts, or sections. In the balance of this section of the book, which I’ve entitled “The Principles,” and over the next few chapters, I’ll introduce you to the five foundational principles that make the 10-Second Rule work in real life. Then, in “The Practices” section, you’ll find all kinds of stories that give flesh to the Rule in ways that may surprise you. Finally, in “The Preparations,” I’ll share helpful ideas that will encourage you to prepare yourself to live with renewed hope and anticipation on this amazing journey following Jesus!
