Commentary In Favor Of Books The Normal Christian Life (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee #33)
Oh. My. God. This is the best book I've ever read--and I absolutely mean that with all the sincerity that I can muster. This book was so good, in fact, that it made me reevaluate how I rate books. There is absolutely nothing flawed in it. NOTHING. And Nee's message was poignant, timeless, and so powerful that it really affected my life. It changed me. I mean, it's almost unbelievable. His message of grace and of the blood, cross, and life of Christ is amazing. His message on the Holy Spirit--though I'm familiar with many charismatic messages on him--blew me away. The way he described the reliance on the soulish life versus the life of God living through us made me repent to God. His message on the Law of God and God's grace living through us totally upended my notions of God and of my service to him. And the way he ended the book with his points on wasting ourselves for the ministering of Jesus wrecked me. It WRECKED me. I wish I could give it higher praise. I wish I could put this book in the hands of every new believer and make them read it and understand it. I can't say enough. I believe I'll have to say "thank you" to Nee when we meet in heaven.Specify Books Conducive To The Normal Christian Life (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee #33)

I was raised in the church and have loved Jesus since age six. Nevertheless, I read this book in my mid-twenties and wondered how I had managed as a Christian before it. It's not that Nee is preaching a Gospel we've never heard; it's only that he is uncovering the depth of it in a way that our superficial and shallow culture today tends to neglect. This is a study through the book of Romans. It is intense and will require slow and thoughtful reading to grasp and appreciate. One could say theThis book is almost too good. It is not an easy read by any means. I usually can only read a paragraph or two before I have to stop and reflect. Watchman Nee was an amazing man as well, as I learned reading a biography. He never answered any of his critics even when they told outright lies about him. He was always confident that God would vindicate him. Give this book a shot.
A thoughtful, deep book written about the Christian living in Christ, as opposed to living in our own efforts. Heavy emphasis on Romans. Watchman Née was a Christian in China that spent the last twenty years (1950-1970) in prison. He died in prison for his Christian beliefs.It was difficult to narrow the book down to just a few points. Here are my favorite quotes:1. p5 - The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with where we are. The blood disposed of our sins, while the
"God shows us through His Word that He has only one answer to every human need: His Son, Jesus Christ." ~Watchman NeeI've been meaning to read this book for a while now and I finally go the chance this year. I did try to read this book, though, a year ago, but nothing really came out of it, so I stopped. But after reading it this year, I was truly amazed by the various aspects that are required of us to live a normal Christian life which just focuses all on Jesus Christ Himself. Watchman Nee
Nee's classic study of the book of Romans.Everything positive I wrote about the ebook edition of The Normal Christian Church Life applies to this edition.This is a new experience for me. Having purchased and read the ebook version of The Normal Christian Church Life, I purchased the hard copy and read it as well. (I bought it because of the frustration trying to find passages for reference and quoting. Immediately, I noticed how much better this edition was. I haven't done a line for line
Watchman Nee had a profound understanding of the normal Christian life, which is wholly different from the 'average' Christian life. The normal Christian life consists of realizing and acknowledging the divine fact that Christians were (not will be) crucified with Christ in the first century A.D. In a way that we do not yet understand, God has included us in the death (and resurrection) of His only Son, and by doing has made many sons. The Christian life goes off-track when it forgets these
An insightful look at the heart of the Book of Romans, this book moves into my top 25 most significant books. For me, it is in the order of The Saving Life of Christ and The Mind of Christ. Perhaps it's something about the keen Asian mind of Nee that brings exceedingly fine thinking to Paul's words and unpacks the text in a way that sheds fresh light on Christ's work. I also see Know Be Do all through the book, although Nee doesn't identify it like that. I highly recommend the book.
