Endorsement

Too often in our churches we neglect the basics. Thats why we seem to have such a large number of born-again believers who are dysfunctional. I am elated that Larry Kreider is forcefully bringing us back to the basics in Discovering the Basic Truths of Christianity and its sequel, Building Your Life on the Basic Truths of Christianity. These two books will cause you to understand what you really believe and how it works out in real life. Larry has provided a wonderful new treasure for the Body of Christ.
