And it was there that Paul and his wife, Edrie, experienced unexpected intimacy with a loving God who is no stranger to suffering. They use their experience and insights to help fellow sufferers.

God's code of conduct is as relevant and insistent today as it's always been. The landscape of contemporary society reveals that we neither know nor care much about the Law of God. There is: A general lawlessness in the lives of professing Christians. An absence of the fear of God in public worship and private living. A growing confidence in ourselves and doubt concerning God and His Word. Amidst this moral crisis, the message of the Ten Commandments can give us order, direction, and hope. With dynamic implications for how each of us lives every day, Pathway to Freedom will challenge you to think long and hard about the significance of God's Law. "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 obedience to God's moral law summarized in the Ten Commandments." --CHARLES COLSON, PRISON FELLOWSHIP MINISTRIES, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Back cover copy: "Many Christians ignore the doctrine of the Trinity, assuming it to be irrelevant for daily life. But it is a mystery worth grappling with, because it is central to our beliefs and fundamental to the working out of our faith - the Trinity is the heartbeat of Christianity. "The theme for the 2013 Keswick Convention was The Transforming Trinity: Knowing the Triune God. During the three weeks of Convention we looked at the saving purposes of God the Father, how we can follow the Son and walk in the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit. We explored what it means to participate in the mission of the Trinity as individuals and as church communities. "This Year Book includes a selection of talks given during the 2013 Convention: Bible teaching from Charles Price, John Risbridger, Paul Williams, Mike Hill, Paul Mallard, Richard Condie, Rico Tice and Peter Baker which showcases the inexhaustible riches of the Trinity and gives fuel for our faith."
