    About this ebook

    Freedom is Americas highest value. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave. The stars and stripes of our flag wave Freedom over our embassies around the world. Immigrants risk their lives to gain freedom in America. The Statue of Liberty welcomes them to our shores. Our laws are designed to protect physical and political freedom for all citizens equally.

    Spiritual freedom is the Christians highest value. This is the basis of all the freedoms we enjoy. The Freedom Book traces the history of freedomhow God gave us freedom at creation, how it was impaired by the fall in Eden and how Jesus Christ restored it through his death on the cross and resurrection to eternal life.

    Not all truth is liberating, but the truth of Gods word is liberating. Jesus said, If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and (this) truth will set you free (John 8:31-32). This book can guide you on the path to true freedom.
