Description
 
He stood against the tide of Chinese Marxist atheism and Communism in the first half of the twentieth century. With millions of his books sold, studied and quoted in many languages, the most notable being The Normal Christian Life, Nee must surely be among the strongest influences on modern Christian thinking.

Once described as “The most dangerous man in China”, Watchman Nee was imprisoned for his faith, sentenced to 20 years hard labor, brainwashing and physical torture. It is almost certain that in all that time he was not allowed a Bible.

When he died, a piece of paper was found beneath his pillow with several lines in large letters: “Christ is the Son of God. He died as the Redeemer for human beings and was raised up from the dead after three days. This is the biggest thing in the universe. I shall die for believing in Christ,”

Nee once observed following a severe trail of faith: “To keep our hand to the plough while wiping away our tears – that is Christianity.” Yet even in his last letter he was able to testify to the joy that was still in his heart.

Let this astonishing biography inspire you to a new level of faith and commitment.
