Prior to the publication of his well-known classic, The Normal Christian Life, Watchman Nee released a series of messages on the overcoming life. In many respects these messages are the basis for living the normal Christian life. Those who have read The Normal Christian Life will find that The Overcoming Life speaks with the same freshness, clarity, and surpassing originality. The Overcoming Life is not a call to attain an extraordinary measure of "spirituality." Rather, it is a call to normalcy, a call to pursue the life that is hidden with Christ in God. This call reverberates within seeking believers who, despite a keen awareness of their weakness, sense an inward call to overcome. In The Overcoming Life Watchman Nee exposes the problems besetting seeking Christians. Using God's Word, he examines the defeated state of believers. Then he opens up a revelation of the victorious, overcoming Christ, in order to guide the reader into an experience of Christ's victory. The Overcoming Life teems with truth, reverberates with hope, and brings the reader to renewed consecration.

Watchman Nee became a Christian in mainland China in 1920 at the age of seventeen and began writing in the same year. Throughout the nearly thirty years of his ministry, Watchman Nee was clearly manifested as a unique gift from the Lord to His Body for His move in this age. In 1952 he was imprisoned for his faith; he remained in prison until his death in 1972. His words remain an abundant source of spiritual revelation and supply to Christians throughout the world.
