Publisher's Description
Have you sensed God calling you to greater obedience?

You pass a car with its hood up or gas cap open, and by the time you decide to stop and help, you're a mile away . . . so you don't.

You see a woman crying in a grocery store aisle and you are prompted to stop and ask if you can help . . . but you keep walking.

You hope that you'll do better next time . . . but will you?

In this powerful book, you'll discover a memorable, simple way to be attentive to the voice of God and courageously obedient to the promptings of the Spirit. You'll find practical ideas for discerning God's will, and you'll read stories of ordinary men and women?just like you?who are living by the Rule and how it has transformed their lives and the lives of those they reach out to.

Editorial Reviews
"The 10-Second Rule is a wonderful, inspirational book that reinforces how one simple gesture, one small act of kindness, can make an enormous difference. Its heartfelt message is that we all have the power to change a life if we open our eyes to the unplanned and hidden blessings that are put in our path for a very special reason."
"Rarely does a book jolt me into immediate action. The 10-Second Rule did just that. After laying the book down I kneeled?and recommitted myself to 'doing the next thing Jesus asks me to do.' This book will wreak all kinds of good havoc in all who read it."
"With unblinking transparency, Clare De Graaf says?what most of us secretly know about ourselves, which often keeps us from living the life God blesses. Living by the Rule is the way forward! Ten seconds can change your life."
"Excellent?helps turn down the noise so we can?really listen to the Savior's direction?and follow! I highly recommend this small book filled with big impact!"
"An easy-to-grasp and memorable formula for building a life that consistently puts the will and wisdom of Jesus into action. This book is a game-changer!"
"You will enjoy and be impacted by The-10 Second Rule. I hope not to miss as many Jesus moments in the future."
