CHRISTIANITY BEYOND BELIEF Following Jesus for the Sake of Others

Todd Hunter is an author who reads his own work with skill as he explains why acceptance of Christ is only the first step in an empowering relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Drawing on his personal leadership and ministry experience, he persuasively explores his larger view of "living in the light of eternity." Christians are to live as "cooperative friends of Jesus"; that is, to become more Christlike. They are to live in "creative goodness"; that is, to seek creative ways to help others. They are to live “for the sake of others"; that is, to give of their time, money, and skills. And they are to live through “the empowerment of the Holy Spirit." Hunter matches voice to mood as he explains why the gospel of Jesus needs to be lived in the here and now, and why acceptance is only the beginning.
