Christianity Beyond Belief: Following Jesus for the Sake of Others

Todd Hunter argues that Christianity is fundamentally about how to live, not merely about securing a place in heaven after death. He contends that eternal life—abundant life—begins on earth when a person becomes a follower of Jesus. Drawing on his experience as president of Alpha USA and his own Christian practice, Hunter calls readers to shift their understanding of salvation and discipleship away from a focus on heaven and hell toward a focus on living well. He describes God's intention as inviting people to become God's cooperative friends, living consistent lives of creative goodness for the sake of others. The book covers the scope of God's story and the reader's place in it, the Holy Spirit's role and power in daily life, practical ways to love and serve others, and guidance for starting a "Three Is Enough" small group. Hunter presents a biblical framework for living with intention and participating in God's work in the world today.
