Thanks to author Dave Greber, The Lost Commandment can now be discovered by today's readers. This book is based on the simple, yet earth-shaking command that Jesus left his disciples to "love each other as I have loved you". These pages apply that principle to our contemporary and complex lifestyle, blowing away the chaff and getting to the core of vibrant Christianity.

This is not a book to merely read and nod along with the truth presented. It's more like an invitation to get off the couch and get in the arena. But it's not an arena filled with combatants; rather, it's our own familiar world populated with people looking to experience the true love that the Bible describes. Sadly, many churches have missed this 'love' commandment because it requires more than just showing up for services on Sunday mornings. This love commandment is really a way of life-- 24/7-- that can transform homes, neighborhoods, nations and the world. Sound exciting? It is, and this book makes it possible to achieve.

Not only does the author recognize the reality and relevance of the Lord's command, he also understands readers. He builds on this subject with short sections, chapter summaries and genuine ways to apply these principles. He carefully explains and examines seven characteristics that Jesus embodied and that Christians can follow to live more abundantly. A free, downloadable study guide is available for group study or personal devotions.

The Lost Commandment finds Jesus at the heart of the Gospel and gives His disciples genuine ways to make a difference in today's world.
