About the Author

Watchman Nee was born in China in 1903 and given the name Ni (Nee) Shu–Tsu. At seventeen years of age, he wholeheartedly accepted Christ, and he sought and received the power of the Holy Spirit for ministry in 1922. In 1926, he contracted tuberculosis and was not expected to live. In spite of weakness and a high fever, he wrote his three–volume work The Spiritual Man, which he wanted to leave as a spiritual legacy after he died. However, Nee was miraculously healed by God after several months of illness, and he completed the work in 1928. In 1934, he married his wife, Charity.

Having a photographic memory, Nee felt that the Lord was calling him to be a "watchman" for his fellow Christians in China, and so he began to read everything he could about the Christian faith. He was used by God not only to convert many to Christ, but also to plant many local fellowships throughout China and Southeast Asia. He also authored numerous books on the Christian life.

Watchman Nee continued faithfully in the service of his Lord until the Communists imprisoned him in 1952, where he was confined until his death in 1972.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise topical compilation of Nee's best quotes and insights, July 3, 2006

This review is from: Secrets to Spiritual Power (Paperback)

I have many books by Watchman Nee and this one is probably my favorite. This book is a compilation of the most powerful quotes and ideas from several of Nee's other books. It is like Cliff's notes from several of his other books. The quotes are ordered topically to give you a structured way to understand his deep insight of the Bible. On almost every page of the book I had to take a break and absorb the spiritual truth that I just read.. I have found myself saying WOW!!! many times after reading a page and finally understanding a Biblical truth that has eluded me until I bought this book. For what it's worth, I have about 800 books in my library and this is one of my top ten favorites.

This book has had a tremendous impact on me. I have used it for a couple of years; I highly recommend it. When you have only about twenty minutes for short readings it will carry you forward with the sense of gaining insight into how we are and how we mature. Power packed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Valuable Physician's Guide to Carnality, February 14, 2001

By 

Danen Tranfaglia, [e-mail] (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secrets to Spiritual Power (Paperback)

Mr. Kulp offers the Christian of the Laodicean age an invaluable Physician's aid. Carnality is certainly the condemning sickness among true believers of our times; and this collection serves the Christian reader in two basic ways---first, as a kind of spiritual "barometer," and, second, as a guide to the remedy for that sickness. The volume will first of all expose the all too common symptoms of carnality, dividing in effect the readership into two camps. The first camp of readers will find themselves smiling and nodding their heads again and again when recognizing all the inhering characters of that genuine, spirit-filled life which they themselves experience day to day: "One quality that characterizes a spiritual person is the great calm he maintains under every circumstance" . . ."God can only use people according to the measure that they are not trusting in themselves." Two the second camp of readers, the recognition of experience will be largely absent; these readers will scratch their heads in bewilderment as they turn the pages, by-passing hundreds of truism, oblivious to any meaning: "Believing does not transform God's will into fact. Rather, believing is based on the fact of God's Word" . . . "Satan does not care if you are doing good works. He only cares if you are doing God's will." Mr. Kulp doesn't merely provide a means of self-examination, however. He has included writings that guide those readers of the second camp above to the very Source of the remedy for their carnality, Christ Jesus, the abiding Seed of the Word of God: "As soon as the Word of God enters, you can immediately distringuish between what is soulish and what is spiritual. There is judgment within you that is sharper than any human judgment" . . ."Every believer ought to know there are four things to be done attentively before God each morning: communion, praise, Bible reading and prayer. If one neglects any of these four, the day will declare it."
