The Mystery of Godliness by W. Ian Thomas

We all yearn for a closer walk with Christ. We desire more of him. We stretch out our hands to God, and often we believe he is distant, inaccessible and even mysterious. The Mystery of Godliness: Experiencing Christ in Us demystifies the notion that God is invisible and resides in a place beyond our spiritual reach. Thomas teaches that Christ is available to us to the degree we are available to Christ. Through faith, we can experience Christ's activity in us and draw nearer to him.

About the Author
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 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 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 Center 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 Centers and Bible Schools worldwide.
