by Major W. Ian Thomas

Description
"This book is simply written and will be of much help to new converts and defeated Christians in starting them off to a victorious spiritual life." -- Bibliotheca Sacra "Major Thomas points out how many dedicated people, ministers, Sunday school teachers, and the like, have come out of the old life but never gone on to the full, joyous life in Christ. He writes with fresh insight into many Bible passages, and challenges Christians to walk on and take the victory that is already won." -- show more Faith at Work ". . . a very inspiring and helpful book." -- Baptist Standard "This is one of the most helpful treatments of a neglected subject which has come to this reviewer's attention." --The Baptist Bulletin ". . . the author evidences keen insight into the definition and activity of the two natures of the believer and the path to victory. This path is explained with refreshing theological objectivity." --The Sunday School Times "A deeply spiritual study of the doctrine of the indwelling Christ. . . . Complete surrender is our need that Christ may live through us. We found the book helpful and enriching." -- The Southern Baptist S.S. Board show lessTags

The author delves into the deeper meaning of the Christian Life. The effects of a complete surrender to the Lordship of Christ are powerfully and accurately set out. A book for every Christian.
The emphasis of this book is something that is urgently needed in this country today and indeed in every area where the message of saving faith in Christ is made known. To so many people, the Lord is in danger of being no more than a patron of our systematic theology instead of the Christ who is our life. There is such a tendency to departmentalize Christian living and to regard our devotions as one department and then to live for the rest of our times almost as religious pagans. This book strikes home at that attitude and presents to us the triumphant life of our risen Lord indwelling us by His Spirit as the one vital essential for Christian living.

W. Ian Thomas was born in London, England. At the age of twelve, he was invited by a friend to spend a week at a Christian camp for boys that was a part of the ministry of the Crusaders Union. Upon hearing the gospel clearly explained, Ian gladly accepted Christ as his Savior and Lord. Later, while preparing for the possibility of becoming a show more missionary doctor, Ian answered the call to be an evangelist and ministered Christ throughout the British Isles. Six years later, he served his country as an army officer in World War II. On his release from the military and with deep concern for the effect of the war years on the youth, in 1947, Ian established a Christian Youth Centre at Capernwray Hall. He was soon visited by British and other nationalities, including Germans, who became true Christians and called themselves "Torchbearers." There are now twenty-five Torchbearers Centres and Bible Schools worldwide. show less
