John Myer's New Book - Alive on the Inside: Cultivating the Inner Life

Sons to Glory! · 12-01-2022, 06:11 PM

Glad to see that John has a new book coming out soon on the inner life! I will be sure to get it, as probably at least a few in our fellowship will do. Thanks for posting that on the front page, UntoHIm!

John and I overlapped in the LC in Columbus Ohio for a short time, but we really don't know each other much. He stayed with some saints here when he was visiting his father here in Scottsdale about a month ago. I tried to get with him, but my household came down with a bug (not Covid) that prevented us from getting together.

He said he would return soon this winter, so I'm looking to fellowship and catching up with him.

Anyone have any insights regarding the book?

John Myer wrote the first comprehensive book chronicling the his experience as a former member and elder in the Local Church of Witness Lee. A Future and A Hope It is a must read for any former member who is serious trying to "Make sense of the Lord's Recovery Movement". I have place quotes from this book many times on the "Quotes and Quips" section.

Also, most Sunday mornings, I have posted the Live Stream Worship and Message of Hilliard Christian Fellowship, a fellowship of believers started by John Myer and others (including a number of former Local Church members) many years ago.

John wanted a few brothers here in Scottsdale to review his new book and post the reviews on Amazon. (FYI: It was listed on Amazon a coupe days ago.) So some of us here will be getting copies from him. I will post the review here as well, as I think some on here were interested.

I was given John's book this Sunday to review, as I mentioned before. I'm almost at the 3rd chapter and am enjoying it. John has a good, very direct style of writing and gives good scriptural references, plus he quotes many other writers both past and present.

The first chapter was about how many in Christendom have a superficial walk with Christ and fall into many sin traps as a result. He says that while many are doing many of the right things, their heart is far from the living Christ. They have take to trying to do the Christian life without the indwelling Christ.

In the 2nd chapter John goes into the importance of walking by the indwelling Spirit and a little of what that looks like.

Once I finish the 2nd chapter I'll post more. In looking at the table of contents, it looks to be an exciting book.
