To most people, the Ten Commandments represent archaic rules dictated by a taskmaster God. But what if they are actually a promise of the covenant relationship between God and his people? Sean Gladding invites you into the lively conversations of a pastor named John as he engages the viewpoints of friends in his favorite coffee shop who wonder at the meaning of those Ten Words for today.
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.

Originally hailing from Norwich, England, Sean Gladding has made his home in the United States for the last two decades, where he has served as a pastor with college students, in church plants and as part of the new monasticism. He is the author of The Story of God, the Story of Us.
