Terry A. Smith, author of Ten-How Would You Rate Your Life? makes an important status between God and man: God is in control, but He would never interfere with man's quest to know God even though He always has that ability. That leaves man with his free will to make choices.

Then the author uses seven sections to help the reader start and maintain a personal relationship with God: Awaken, Discover, Imagine, Grow, Act, Lead and Let's Go There (a good plan for meeting the obstacles of life).

In each of these sections Smith gives the reader helpful hints on how to accomplish the needed things in that section. The examples are not some pie-in-the-sky illustrations but good solid advice that can be followed with the help of the Creator. The author also provides examples of negative actions that are to be avoided.

It's not as if the author came up with his plan and implemented it alone. He uses quotes from people of various fields to support his method in each of the seven sections. He includes a section that identifies the source of these quotes.

Smith's account of his own life will give readers confidence in using the plan to reach a relationship with God. There was a time in his religious life when Smith was anything but a ten.

This is a good book for those who seek a relationship with God and those who hope to maintain that relationship.
