The Magic Green Shirt is a Family publication written by David Berg in which he describes a dream of his adopted son, "Davidito," being incapable of any form of dishonesty while wearing a special shirt.

References to a "magic green shirt" are sometimes used within The Family as a call to honesty.

Excerpt from The Magic Green Shirt:

61 Beloved, have you donned the Magic Green Shirt of God's Spirit of truth & honesty?--Do you have the power of Christ's Spirit dwelling in your heart so that you do not lie nor deceive nor cheat & are always honest with others?

James Penn titled his Website (archived elsewhere on xFamily) after this letter. In his posted articles No Regrets – Why I Left The Family and All of These Things Moved Me, Penn wrote candidly of some of his experiences during his time in World Services.
