Twinky, Chris Geer took some Way Magazine teachings or from SNS, or Way Corps, edited them and published 5 additional "colaterals" Studies in Abundant Living series and had them published in Great Britain under European Christian Press.
I seem to remember (very distantly) something about CG publishing a book that was "edited posthumously" by VPW.
I remember because Jo-n Re-nolds was outraged by it - I suspected at the time that it wasn't so much that JRR was outraged but someone else (possibly a someone whose initials include L and C and M). Never knew more than that, though.
I wonder how many copies sold? Does anyone claim having bought one? European believers?? Current CG fellowship group attenders??
I remember hearing this sung on one of the old Sunday Night Service tapes. I forget the name of the woman who was singing, but I remember Mr. Wierwille joined her on the last chorus. Maybe this was a favorite of his, and perhaps that's why Mr. Geer chose the title.

In the 90's it was Debra Olthouse. Weird, I can still hear her singing that song! :blink:
For anyone who's interested the five titles are "Living Victoriously". "Our Times", "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus", "Take A Stand For God" and "Take God At His Word".
Hey, I was just saying what Jo-hn Re-nolds had said to me, and his reaction to it. One of those red flag moments but you don't like to enquire further...
And as I said, I don't think JR was speaking of himself but echoing what had come down from L-M.
White Dove: sounds as though you actually have one or more of these books, is this
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Victor Paul Wierwille
edited posthumously by
Christopher C. Geer
what it says in the flyleaf? which is, of course, completely accurate.

bow, I think he had the decade wrong, not the person. It was Debra Olthouse for sure, but it was in the 80s, not the 90s. I saw Debra singing it and VP joining her on it many times back then when I was at HQ.

VP didn't write the song. The above reference was to a series of articles put together called Turn Your Eyes...

"edited posthumously"? That's pretty impossible.

The song lyrics and music "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" were written by Helen Howarth Lemmel on or around 1922.
A little background information (scroll down to about the middle of the page)
The lyrics are:

Why do you say that? Lots of books are edited posthumously it's not that uncommon a google search would come up with 376,000 give or take a few.

When I saw this...
...I chuckled.I get exactly what WG is saying. Obviously the articles weren't edited by VPW posthumously. That IS impossible.
Yes, but they aren't edited posthumously by the dead person who wrote them. See? :D

I got the point but it was based on misinformation by Twinky
The book reads as follows:
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Victor Paul Wierwille
edited posthumously by
Christopher C. Geer

All I know is, I don't ever want to see "edited posthumously" at the bottom of one of my own posts.

The Book cover reads
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Victor Paul Wierwille
the inside page reads
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Victor Paul Wierwille
edited posthumously by Christopher C. Geer
published by European Christian Press
The Way in Great Britain Ltd.
Dedication reads:
To the Household of The Way Corps
May We Rise Up, O men Of God
Jo-n Re-nolds was outraged because they were still in to much of a fog to think of it themselves.

There is also an early pre Olthouse- Debra version on the PFAL 77 album with VPW singing with her.
