From the Back Cover
He lived the life he wrote about: the devoted, “normal” Christian life.
The titles of Watchman Nee’s books say much about this twentieth-century Chinese spiritual leader: Changed into His Likeness, Love Not the World, A Living Sacrifice, and Spiritual Man. Writer, teacher, and church founder, Nee spent his entire adult life focused on the truth of the gospel, and almost one-third of his life imprisoned for his beliefs.
Opposed by traditional denominations for his work creating indigenous churches in China, Nee also encountered false accusations from the Chinese government, extreme poverty, and the ravages of disease. Yet from the seed he planted grew larger churches, congregations that continued to thrive despite Communist persecution.
