Product Description
From the dust jacket: The last thing a new graduate wants to read is a book on commandments. After years of living under enforced rules and regulations, now is the time for a little freedom-a heavy dose of "I'll do it my way. I'm going to ignore all those stuffy laws. Certainly they don't have much to say to today's world and today's graduates." Right? Wrong! Says Brent Earles, who extends an invitation to become a genuinely satisfied person. This is how he rephrases "the Ten Biggies" into easy-to-grasp terms: 1. Don't be disloyal by playing with plastic gods. 2. Knock off with the religious trinkets. God is the only Real Thing. 3. Watch your heart, before your mouth gets out of order. 4. Try to match your rest day with your worship day instead of playing golf and going water-skiing. 5. Never get too smart, too busy, or too old to love your parents. Keep the family ties strong. 6. Keep a cool head, not a cold heart. 7. Let every man drool over his own wife and let every wife drool over her own husband. 8. Don't put your fingers into someone else's cookie jar unless you're giving them some cookies. 9. Be a window. Lighten up, before you go over the wall and commit the ultimate fib. 10. Want only your own stuff. God will take care of you. The tone is frank, open and refreshing. Brent Earles knows how to catch the attention of young people. He meets them where they are and prods them to think clearly about their lifestyle. The challenge to live life, and live it abundantly, is unmistakable. No sidestepping is allowed.
