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. -- Faith at Work

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
To help us better understand and incorporate victorious Christian living into our lives, Major W. Ian Thomas combines in one volume The Saving Life of Christ, which examines the implications of Christ's life and death, and The Mystery of Godliness, an exploration of the fact that godliness is a mystery. God did not die just to save us from the consequences of a bad past or past failure, but to 'clear the decks' for divine action in our lives. The Saving Life of Christ contains a warning that our response to Jesus Christ will determine our condition in the sights of God . . . redeemed or condemned. The Mystery of Godliness offers old and new considerations about the nature of godliness in thought-provoking discussions such as How to Do the Impossible and How Much are You Worth?
