$19.99Add to cartThe five books of Miles J. Stanford have been loved by many people for the insight they provide into true spirituality. Now for the first time all five titles are available in one volume, the complete Green Letters series. This superb manual of spirituality contains: 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 — All of these books deal with the common theme of “Not I, but Christ.” Stanford believes that Christians experience little growth, and are frustrated and discouraged in their spiritual lives, because they do not understand the deeper life.

Green Letters : Principles Of Spiritual Growth
$14.99Add to cartAs the first book in a series of five on the Christian life, The Green Letters emphasizes both the doctrinal and experiential aspects of maturing in Christian living. The book is grounded in Scripture and enlivened by quotations from noted authors. “Not I, but Christ” is its theme. The author makes this arresting statement regarding the dynamics of the Christian life: “God . . . doesn’t intend to help us live the Christian life. Immaturity considers the Lord Jesus a Helper. Maturity knows Him to be life itself.” Perhaps the greatest drama in the world is the slow and subtle growth of character in the Christian. Beauty of character can be developed only through years of reflection and experience in the Word of God as the life of Christ is increasingly lived by faith. The Christian life is a healthy, robust kind of life. It advances also through trials, for in one who has faith even suffering is not wasted, but becomes a means for increasing spiritual vigor and strength.
