From the Back Cover

GOD’S CODE OF CONDUCT IS AS RELEVANT AND INSISTENT TODAY AS IT’S ALWAYS BEEN.


The landscape of contemporary society reveals signs that we neither know nor care much about the Law of God. There is:

·        An absence of a true and realistic understanding of the seriousness of sin.

·        Superficial preaching that appeals to man’s felt needs and affection.

·        A general listlessness and lawlessness in the lives of professing Christians.

·        An absence of the fear of God in public worship and private living.

·         A tendency for churches to rely on strategies borrowed from business
and psychology.

·        A growing confidence in ourselves and an accompanying loss of confidence
in God and His Word.


Pathway to Freedom will challenge you to think long and hard about the significance of God’s Law.  It has dynamic implications for how each of us lives every day.


“We have entered into a time of moral crisis  in our culture and in the church as well.   Stories about divorce, adultery, and the individualized picking and choosing of doctrines abound. Pathway to Freedom is forthright and necessary teaching that today’s church cannot afford to ignore. How now shall we live? The beginning of the answer must be in obedient to God’s moral law summarized in the Ten Commandments.”
—CHARLES COLSON, PRISON FELLOWSHIP MINISTRIES, WASHINGTON, D.C.
