About this title

Synopsis

To most people living in today's world, the Ten Commandments represent archaic rules dictated by a taskmaster God, meant for a society long gone. Many see them as irrelevant, even unattainable, today. But what if we're not that different from those who gathered around Moses as he handed down God's Ten Words to his people? What if they were never meant to be a set of rules, but instead a promise of a covenant relationship? In Ten, Sean Gladding invites you into the story of John, a pastor who spends his mornings in a local coffee shop, as he engages the viewpoints of regular people who wonder at the relevance and meaning of those Ten Words today. Sit in on their lively, heart-felt conversations as they tackle each Word over a cup of coffee and realize the hope of God's promises to his chosen people―yesterday, today and forever.

About the Author

Sean Gladding is from Norwich, England, but has spent most of his adult life in the United States. He is a storyteller, and his passion in writing is to (re)introduce people to the beautiful, challenging, messy and often confusing Story to be found in the Bible, as well as to address some of the harmful ways that Story has been told. He and his family make their home in Lexington, Kentucky, where they grow food with others, raise chickens, kick a soccer ball around when it's dry, and play board games when it's wet.
