Three Simple Rules That Will Change the World

Three Simple Rules That Will Change the World is a book written by Rueben P. Job and is based on the teachings of John Wesley. This little book speaks volumes in that if each of us followed its three basic tenets, the world would be a very different place.  As the back cover of the book states:  "There is no one secret to life. But there are three simple rules that have the power to change your life and your world.  John Wesley first taught and practiced these rules many years ago. Now it is up to us to practice this way of living.  Not only can these rules change your life, they can change the world.  This insightful work calls us to mutual respect, unity, and a deeper daily relationship with God."  A very worthwhile read.
