Agape - The Forgotten Teaching of Jesus (Paperback)

Ever wonder why Christians treat each other in the nasty ways that they do? Why is it that the church, which is supposed to be a place of peace, love and harmony, is often a place of division, recrimination and fighting? There is an answer. Ever ponder why it is so difficult, or at times, virtually impossible, for you to sustain a behavior of love as our dear Savior commands? Is it that we don't have enough willpower, or is it our understanding of love? There is an answer to this also. Agape, the forgotten teaching of Jesus gives clear, concise answers to these questions. To understand what God teaches about His Agape is to find freedom and fully enjoy the greatest of the Holy Spirit's gifts. Understand Agape. Be transformed in your life, your church and your world.
