'Not I, but Christ.' That brief phrase reflects our complete dependency on Jesus for everything that the Christian life is about, from right standing with God, to spiritual growth, to personal well being, to practical service. In four words, it captures the essence and sweep of The Complete Green Letters. The language of The Complete Green Letters may have a classic flavor, but the remarkable insight and spiritual penetration are thoroughly and refreshingly contemporary. Drawing from the spiritual heritage of the Keswick Convention, these beloved writings by Miles J. Stanford comment powerfully on the true nature of spirituality. Here in one volume, in logical order, are: The Green Letters: Principles of Spiritual Growth The Principle of Position: Foundations of Spiritual Growth The Ground of Growth: The Christian's Relationship to the Cross and the Risen Christ The Reckoning That Counts: The Realization of Spiritual Growth Abide Above: A Guide to Spiritual Growth A sound apprehension of the deeper life can make the difference between progress or frustration, peace or turmoil. If you desire a better understanding of what it means to serve Christ, his church, and the world around you, The Complete Green Letters shines light on the path of spiritual growth.

The most helpful book I have ever read on spiritual growth,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Green Letters, The (Paperback)
The Complete Green Letters is the most helpful book on spiritual growth that I have read and I have been reading these kinds of books for 31 years. The truths have been largely forgetten by other writers today and Mr. Standford brings them back for all Christians to live and enjoy. This book can set the believer free from the power of sin over life. Thank you Mr. Stanford! I invite everyone to enjoy and learn to rest in the Lord Jesus Christ for life. Warning! This book will invade your life with the life of Christ Himself. Read and enjoy Him!!

Christianity is Christ ....It is all about Him,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Green Letters, The (Paperback)
"By Grace you have been saved through faith." (eph 2:8-9) I know i'm saved by grace but how am i to live the Christian life??? The bible says "as you received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk in Him."(col 2:6) How did you recieve Him? "Did you recieve the Spirit by the works of the law of by the hearing of faith? are you so foolish having begun in the Spirit are you now being made perfect by the flesh." (galatians 3:2-4) "the letter kills but the Spirit gives life" (2 corithians 3:6)Jesus said "i am the Life" (John 14:10) Only Christ can live the Christian life - the Christian life isn't an imitation but a participation in the life of another. "I am the Vine you are the branches." (John 15) The whole Christian life in Christ is "by grace through faith."This is a wonderful book - he points to Christ and His completed work on the cross, "our old man was crucified with Him." That is a historic fact. We die to sin not by our experiences but by the believing of the fact of what He has done. Now day by day we get to walk less and less according to the flesh and more and more according to the Spirit - by faith believing on His work of the crucified and risen Jesus. It is by knowing our POSITION (standing) in Christ and what He has done that we are able to grow in our CONDITION (walk, fellowship and growth) in Him day by day. The basis of the Christ life is faith .....faith in God's fact - that is in the God who cannot lie! I recommend this book so highly. "but we with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are beng transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."(2 cor 3:18) UPDATE: by the way the Bible college i went to (called Calvary Chapel Bible College in Europe), the director Mr. Metzger said this book was heresy and promptly removed it from the library. Not a good place to study the Bible at.

THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ON SPIRITUAL GROWTH!,
By MARK GRAY (marka@madnet.net) (MADERA CALIFORNIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Green Letters, The (Paperback)
I HAVE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF CHRISTIAN BOOKS, AND THIS BOOK IS THE BEST EVER WRITTEN ON SPIRITUAL GROWTH. THE HOLY SPIRIT REALLY MINISTERED TO ME THROUGH THIS BOOK. MOST OF THESE TRUTHS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN BY THE MODERN CHURCH. EVERY CHRISTIAN ESPECIALLY PASTORS SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. I WILL BE BUYING COPIES OF THE COMPLETE GREEN LETTERS FOR ALL OF MY FRIENDS!
