It Takes God to Be a Man: The Spiritual Theology of Major Ian Thomas - Paperback

by Charlie McCall (Foreword by), Shawn C. Lazar (Author)

How do you grow spiritually? How can you become intimate with God? In It Takes God to Be a Man, Shawn Lazar introduces the essence of Major Ian Thomas's spiritual theology.

Major Thomas spent his career as a missionary teaching people who have become Christians how to be the Christians they've become.

Where other preachers proclaim how Christ saves them through His death, Major Thomas and the Torchbearer network of ministries he founded taught how Christ also continues to save them through His life.

According to Major Thomas, there are two fundamental options in living the Christian life: you can try to grow through your own efforts to live for Christ, or you can live in utter dependence upon the indwelling Christ living through you. Shawn Lazar unpacks the difference in this introduction. Includes discussion questions for small groups.
