Summary: Brilliant guide to practical Christian living!
Review: I have read many books and gone to many lectures at thelogical college but never have I found one source of so much wisdom and insight into how to live the Christian life as this set.
So many of the unaswered questions I had were answered in these books!
Whatever you need to do to get these books and read them do it! They contain not just understanding but how to LIVE Christ in this world.

Summary: Deep spiritual revelations are spread throughout the book!
Review: If you don't get convicted by the messages in this book, then, maybe - only maybe - you have chosen the fleshly or carnal pathway of most Christians instead of the spiritual pathway which is the only pleasing one in HIS sight. Pray for more revelation then about yourselves so as not to please it further but instead to long to please the Lord alone and to daily set aside ourselves as dead to sin and alive to God for HIS glory alone.

Summary: There Will Never Be Another Book Like This Written
Review: It's hard to believe that Watchman Nee had only been a Christian for a few years and was in his early twenties when he wrote The Spiritual Man. This is the first and only book of any substantial size that Nee himself ever wrote, and it is the most comprehensive treatment of spirit, soul, and body ever written. With the precision of a surgeon Nee dissects WHO we are in the light of God's Word, WHY we are the way we are, and HOW it all fits together and relates to God. This is not a book for the casual reader. It will require several readings and many years before it's truths can be grasped, but it's well worth the adventure. Must reading for today's discerning Christian in a world full of half-truths and deceptions.

Summary: A very dangerous book...
Review: Jesus teaches that when He judges our service to Him, some of our works will go up in smoke like "wood, hay and stuble"? What if, upon God's examination of your efforts, He determines that our motives are tainted by our own pride, desire for pleasure, attention-seeking, or self-affirmation? And if there is such a danger, how can we identify and avoid it?Brother Nee exposes these perils in unflinching detail and concludes unapologetically that the only solution is for the believer to die - not just once, but daily! He asserts that, while all Christians have been initially freed from sin's penalty at the Cross, many do not experience freedom from sin's power in actual experience. The result is an inconsistent life, ravaged by external temptations and internal uncertainty. Normal spiritual progress, he explains, depends on the believer's willingness to deliver himself to the cross completely and continually. All thoughts, desires, emotions, affections, hopes, dreams, opinions, and decisions that do not proceed from the Spirit of God must be surrendered to the death of the cross. Moreover, he emphasizes that mere reform or improvement are not enough. The functions and works of the "old man" must be completely eradicated and replaced. The "new man in Christ" can not collaborate with the "old man" in God's work. Brother Nee presents a thorough and easily comprehended description of the discrete functions of the spirit, soul and body. His analysis clearly reveals their purpose, operation, and relation both to each other and to the Holy Spirit. His focus is frequently on the "carnal" or "soulish" versus that which is "spiritual". His claims are supported by reference to the appropriate Scriptures. You will frequently find your responses alternating between "Amen!" and "Oh me!". One thing is sure, though. You will quickly realize that your "old man" has got to go. Prayerful reading of this book and the supporting Scriptures will change you. A dangerous book indeed.

Summary: Are you a DOG or a SAG?
Review: Next to the Bible, this book is probably "the" excellent guide to
spiritual revelations and experiences.
Are you spiritual (DOG = Dependent on God), or
carnal (SAG = Setting Aside God)? Read and know.
By the way, this is the only book written by Watchman Nee.
Other books were from his verbal expositions of the Word of God.
In Christ.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Outside of the Bible, the best book I have ever read.
Reader beware. This is deep stuff. Real meat, not milk toast. It explains the spiritual journey and is transformational.

Summary: A MUST for all Christians
Review: The is really the only book I suggest Christians read besides the Bible. Mr. Nee is clearly speaking from the Spirit in today's terms. It's a book for the growing Chrisitan, but I don't diefy it. I just have lived what he's preaching and I know that he is 100% accurate. Get it, read it over and over.
