An Answer to Prayer

This is perhaps the best book I've read on Christian Life & the identification truths. One of the short comings of identification literature has been a lack of the 'how to' component, meaning of course how to practically put into practice the principle of 'Not I but Christ.' This, in my opinion, is Thomas' best book, it was a joy to read & has already changed my whole practice of reckoning dead & alive. I've known for a while that Romans 6 was the key & that writers like Thomas, Hudson Taylor, Watchman Nee, Miles Stanford, F. J. Huegel & many others had it right but I could never make it consistently real in my practice beyond the initial 'push.' Thomas has given me a practical methodology (attitude?) where I am now genuinely & actually learning to yield to the Lord potentially in each & every situation so that His life is manifested. I think this was Paul's desire for the Ephesians when he said, 'so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.' What a blessing.

The Answer Right Under Your Nose

For the sincere Christian, the perplexing problem is always a daily struggle of distinguishing between self-effort and simply resting in Christ. 'Simply resting' is a misleading statement. It suggests an act that we can perform ourselves in self effort. This book EXPLAINS to us, revelation upon revelation, how GOD does His work through us. Read this book as it is suggested, a DAILY 'bite' at a time- and let it sink in and take root. This book will transform your thinking and 'lighten your load'. God is Good!!

The Indwelling Christ

This is the fourth book by Major Thomas that I have read and found it to be as good as the first three. I like it's format because it can be read as a devotional over several weeks to allow the truth of what he is saying to "soak in". This book tells Christians how to be the Christians that they have become and focuses on the resurrection. As it takes the death of Christ to become a Christian, so it takes the life of Christ to be that Christian. That's what this book is all about. I highly recommend this book as well as all of Major Ian Thomas' books. -Donald Wheeler

The missing element, revealed! : )

I wish I would of had this book just when I first was Born Again, it would of saved me alot of wasted time and frustration TRYING TO LIVE the christian Life, a LIFE that ONLY Christ can DO THROUGH US, as we yeild to HIS INDWELLING, I suggest you read and reread this book, a MUST for everyone who calls themself a Christian or to anyone interested in finding out what the REAL Christian life is!

life changing book!

As in his other books, Major Ian Thomas challenges us to go beyond the fire-insurance type of salvation into a deep abiding relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. A relationship that acknowledges "I can't" but also embraces "Christ can". Herein is the key, we cannot live the Christian life in the power of our own strength. God never asked us to. He always promised He would do it for us. Major Thomas will show you how. A must read for every person seeking life abundant.
