"You'll never see me in a church again!" This comes from being wounded and hurt in church. At one time church was fulfilling and exciting, inviting you to get involved, build some friendships, and participate in something meaningful. And slowly it begins to happen. Things are not quite like you first perceived them and in getting close to others, relationships just go sour. Relationships are very important to God. They are a priority to Him. This book is all about building loving and meaningful relationships for real.

The greatest deficiency of the modern-day church is that little or nothing is understood about the ultimate and most important purpose of God and what it really means to love one another. Learning how to regularly practice this kind of love in life has the potential for changing the course of modern history! The "forgotten commandments" that you hold in your hand is like a modern word of prophesy for every believer in Christ.

Don't let this opportunity slip away from you. Take it, read it, and apply it in your life; then you will know just how important this message is for our generation! Now you can begin the journey of your life to join many others in fulfilling the Great Commandment. Are you willing?

The story is told of a regiment of Roman soldiers who were directed to torture and execute Christians for their faith in the first century. It was in the wintertime and they would strip the believers naked and place them out on a frozen lake to freeze to death. If any would deny their faith, they would be allowed to live. On one particular night, there were several families of Christians who quietly sang songs of faith as they were dying on the ice. The story was told that one of the Roman soldiers broke rank and as he walked out on the ice, disrobed, called Jesus Christ His Lord, and joined the doomed believers to sing and die. Under great protests by his fellow companions, he continued his stance with the others. In less than an hour, one-by-one other soldiers joined their friend on the ice, disrobing and committing their lives to Christ. As the hours passed, the voices began to be silenced through the frozen death. The last Roman soldier on the ice before he died was asked by those who had not joined them, “Why have you done this foolish deed?” He quietly replied, “I would rather die as a Christian with integrity, than to live a life that is nothing but a lie!”

The cry for integrity continues to ring out in our day. Actually, the basic need for integrity in the lives of people has existed from the beginning of time. The essential nature of all mankind demonstrates three foundational problems that create this cry for integrity: pride, sexual lust, and greed. They have intrinsically debilitated mankind’s heart and have led many astray to be lost from the highway of integrity. The blessing of life has been lost!

Integrity is often viewed by modern man as a deficit in character rather than the avenue of great blessing from God. The Forgotten Highway is the response to the cry of a lifetime. It will bring truth and hope to light for all of us to be challenged and to know how to live a life of integrity! It will stir up the conviction in our heart that it would be better to die as a Christian with integrity rather than to live the life of a lie!
