BASIC CHRISTIANITY

The New Testament basically defines our service to God as instruments for Him to use as He wishes to help bring His creation of humans back to Him. As humans, we have a hard time being His instruments. We want to be in control of this current life on earth and to decide who and what we are. We have a hard time understanding a verse like 2nd Corinthians 5:17 that lets us know that we are a new creation after we have received His salvation.

Basic Christianity: A New Life Form expresses thoughts on God's agape love based on biblical principles that Christians can use to create community. Hanson has discovered alternate interpretations of the New Testament many have misinterpreted, while providing you with enlightening ideas you won't find in other books.

He communicates these ideas with passion and a zeal for Christ, and focuses on God's love with fascinating biblical examples; he examines apostles to connect ideas to his theme of Christians being "other-centered" practicing compassion and kindness for others. Tom Hanson has spent over 40 years as an active participant in Charismatic, Pentecostal and Evangelical fellowships and uses his knowledge to empower you to focus on others and be a strong example of Gods agape love throughout your life journey.

"Our Lord has given us a very important job. He has given us the opportunity to represent Him to those of His creation who have not yet accepted His fantastic offer. Also, to represent Him to those who have accepted, but do not yet understand what has happened to them."
