A truly Inspiring book that blessed me! and will bless you 2,
This review is from: Watchman Nee: Man of Suffering (Heroes of the Faith (Barbour Paperback)) (Paperback)
I originally read this book because I didn't know much about Watchman Nee and only knew that he wrote a lot of hymns. However, when I started reading about his life, my respect and awe of him grew so much. His lifestyle is so real and so encouraging. This book was an easy read and I read it in one sitting because it is impossible to put down. While I read this book, I was reminded of Hebrews 12:1, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." By reading about Watchman Nee, I was blessed by the radical lifestyle he lived. He ran the race and persevered in even the most difficult of times and now he is cheering us on in our race to the end! Go and get this book and be inspired and blessed!!

The genuine article.,
This review is from: Watchman Nee: Man of Suffering (Heroes of the Faith (Barbour Paperback)) (Paperback)
The folks I've noticed who command respect across the board are the ones who have a humility beyond what is natural. Mother Teresa, for example, was respected by the good, the bad, and the ugly. (I'm not sure which category I fall into.) Those who know of Watchman Nee, from a fistful of multi-hued denominations, have a deep respect for him as well. He was a man who lived and died for Jesus in China. Nothing fancy, he didn't even like to put a name on his church. He simply loved God and he loved people and they stuck him in a cell for it. This book is in a series of biographies of leaders in the Christian faith, and I was particularly delighted in how well the book was written; I am sometimes suspicious of what appear to be cranked-out, serial books. No fear on this one, the writing was so good I forgot about it and enjoyed the story. I remember one line quoted from a Chinese proverb, which seems to typify the life of Watchman Nee: He who puts his head above the crowd is in danger of decapitation. Watchman Nee was plain bread, the salt of the earth, the genuine article.

Watchman Nee a man of God, an insperation to all,
By scnw30@transport.com Scott C (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Watchman Nee: Man of Suffering (Heroes of the Faith (Barbour Paperback)) (Paperback)
Watchman Nee from the time of his conversion to Jesus Christ laid his own life down at the cross. God our Lord used Watchman Nee in a powerful way to reach many in his own country and others around the world. Any person who desires to follow Christ would be wise to read this story of a man who submitted himself to the Lord and how God used him to change many lives. This was a very insperational book about true christian life.
