You will have become
totally dependent upon the life of Christ within you, and never before will you have been so
independent, so
emancipated from the pressure of your circumstances, so
released at last from that self-distrust which has made you at one moment an arrogant, loud-mouthed braggart, and the next moment the victim of your own self-pity—and, either way, always in bondage to the fear of other men’s opinons.—
The Saving Life of Christ, pages 15-16

It will be interesting to see how he develops this theme in the book...
