Good Books by Watchman Nee...any suggestions from the ones you have benefitted from and enjoyed?

Answer 1

Absolutely. Here's three that I've had the privilege of getting my hands on:

Sit, Walk, Stand
This is a classic that is taken from the book of Ephesians, describing our God-given position in Christ.

The Normal Christian Life
This begins with it's foundations in the book of Romans (a very vital book for any Christian) and is very good.

The Normal Christian Worker
This is primarily about how a Christian should serve the Lord and conduct his thoughts and actions in doing so.

There is excellent material in these and they are very challenging and thought provoking. It's cool to know that someone else has even heard of Watchman Nee. He's left quite some wonderful insight into the Word of God and ministry.

Answer 2

Absolutely...and along the same lines as Watchman Nee's testimony.

I knew the late Pastor Richard Wurmbrand,as I was blessed and honored to have hosted him during speaking engagements in Sarasota,years ago. I can vouch for the validity of his testimony,as I saw first hand,the deep torture wounds that riddled his body,for being faithful to Jesus Christ(unwilling to accept freedom by denying the Lord,but rather suffering willingly and with joy endured unspeakable horrors...I have never met 2 more powerful people in the Lord as Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand.

Two of his more popular book that I would highly recommend is "Tortured for Christ" and "In God's Underground". One of Sabina's books was entitled "The Pastor's Wife"..also highly recommended.

Another book that I am reading now,by author and teacher C.J. Mahaney is entitled "Humility:True Greatness"..I read another of his books recently called "The Cross Centered LIfe"...both powerful books,by a man that I greatly respect..and whom years ago was given the responsibilty of overseeing the gathering that I was a part of...as our elders were in subjection to him...I can vouche for him as well.

I evidently am long-winded when recommending books.LOL

Answer 3

I'm a big fan of John Bravere. I've had studies in church regarding his books and my Bible study is using one of them now.
The Bait of Satan
Heart Ablaze
Driven by Eternity

Also in the same line as Bobby mentioned (and it also has Richard & his wife's story)

Jesus Freaks I
Jesus Freaks II

Both are by DC Talk. And share awesome stories of those who have been martyred for their faith.

The Bait of Satan deals with offence and being offended. I'd recommend it for everyone on R&S.
Blessings.

Answer 4

I only recently found his website and read his testimonies and hymns. I have received his free translated study bible and am just starting to check out his insights.

Have you seen his website?
http://www.christianwebsites.org/nee-lee.htm

There is a pile of information there.

Peace.

Answer 5

Although I haven't read it, his book, "The Spiritual Man" is supposed to be good.

Answer 6

There is not doubt that Watchman Nee is a great teacher of Christianity in China amidst communism- the godless ideology. By the grace and wisdom of GOD revealed today, prophetic/ disciples revelations will add more from the never-ending and unfathomable mysteries of THE LORD GOD purposely for edifying any reader even here in the R &S. This is so as THE LORD GOD gifted some as Prophets, Priests, Pastors, Bishops, etc. First, a true christian must believe in the eucharist-the body of Christ; 2ndly, a true christian must believe in the HOLY SPIRIT-thrice HOLY (THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT); and 3rdly, a true christian must believe in the oneness of the hearts of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE HEART OF HIS MOTHER VIRGIN MARY (SACRED HEART AND THE IMMACULATE HEART ARE INSEPARABLE); thus, VIRGIN MARY must be revered with HONORS as THE LORD JESUS CHRIST crowned her with HONORS and being the MOTHER OF ALL (Rev 12:17); and 4thly, a true christian must have the spirit of the UNITY OF THE FAITH saying to other christians like Baptist, Scientology, Seven day adventists, Jehovah, Catholics, Ortho, Born again, Ecumenical, Fundametnalists, Mormons,etc, YOU ARE MY BROTHER AND SISTERS IN CHRIST. This is true christianity that espouses LOVE and without this bond of unity one is warring against GOD because GOD is an abyss and an infinte LOVE. This is my teaching MISSION-THE UNITY OF THE FAITH; while my preaching MISSION is THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM. Thus, about eternal life, I have been answering this topic to almost everyone in the R&S; and as a Prophet and envoy of GOD and as an echo and a mouthpiece of the VOICE of GOD, my messages of eternal life and thus, echoing the voice of GOD to you; and it came to you through R &S, but most of you seem never heard that echo of the voice of GOD. Thus, I pray to THE LORD GOD for them that there child- like hearts be opened so that THE HOLY SPIRIT will enter their hearts and teach their spirits within and see finally the wisdom of THE LORD GOD spoken by THE HOLY SPIRIT through HIS Prophets, Saints and HIS great teachers in today's modern world. And I say this prayer in your behalf-FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT, I pray that as YOU have given me understanding of the mysteries of the Kingdom; that through YOUR unfathomable love and divine wisdom; that those with closed ears and blinded eyes be opened for YOUR OWN GLORY. In their behalf O GOD, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love YOU. Amen. Also my 40 articles revealed by THE HOLY SPIRIT to me through dream revelation for the last 27 years I published them in -http://groups.yahoo.com/group/THEGOODNEWSOFTHEKINGDOM/ are described in objective reality not in abstract terms, eternal life as gods or like-GOD, ruling over universes in the Omega-the unending world; the garden of paradise, the garden of eden and the omega and the CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY JERUSALEM in celestial heaven (Gal 4:26; Rev 21:10-21). To say further, you belong to the Royal Family of GOD; and men are only on a pilgrim status on earth's passing life like a shadow and eternity will be spent with the Royal Family of THE LORD GOD. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.
