About this ebook

In this book, Watchman Nee outlines the pathway for those who have an ear to hear. Like a skilled physician, he first exposes the problems besetting seeking Christians. Using God's Word, he candidly examines the defeated state of the believers, then presses for a cute, opening up a revelation of the victorious, overcoming Christ.

Ratings and reviews

I wish every believer in Christ would read this book prayerfully, unlike many watered down publications you find in Christian book stores, W.N writings are very weighty for the deep seeking believer.
