This classic work unfolds the path of Christian faith and presents the eternal purpose of God in simple terms. Nee's discussion and writings on the book of Romans is truly challenging. His classic work takes on many difficult subjects and radically challenges current Christian culture.

This is a complete presentation on the workings of the human spirit and soul and body. The book aims at delivering people from the tyranny of self-life with its carnality and from the domination of the passions and lusts of the flesh. It attempts to lead them to the full salvation of Christ. It is not to be taken as a manual but as a guide to true spirituality. It is recommended that this three-volume work be listened to quickly once.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
The Song of Solomon is one of the finest love poems ever written. Over the centuries its beautiful language and sublime imagery have enchanted readers. But why is this tender love poem included in the Scripture? How should we interpret it? This is a real mystery to many of us, but Watchman Nee believes it is possible to discover within the poem all the principles needed to develop the spiritual life. In this devotional commentary, he explores the love relationship between the individual believer and the Lord.

Anyone who serves God will discover sooner or later that the great hindrances he has in the Lord's work is not others but himself. He will discover that his outward man (soul) is not in harmony with his inward man (spirit). Both tend to go toward two opposite directions from each other. He will also sense the inability of his outward man to submit to the inner control of his regenerated spirit. His greatest difficulty lies in his outward man, which hinders him from using his spirit.

Authority is a tremendous thing in the universe, nothing overshadows it. God's throne is established on His authority. God's authority represents God Himself. God alone is authority in all things; all the authorities of the earth are instituted by God. It is therefore important for us who desire to serve God to know the authority of God.

The life that God gives and you receive at the time you believe in his son Jesus Christ is such a life. It is a life that overcomes sin, provides intimate communion with God, and is full of satisfaction and power. It is already in you, waiting to be explored by you. The secret toward experiencing its power is to let go of yourself and let Christ live instead of you. This requires a childlike faith. Then shall you more than conquer through him who loves you.

Are you ready for real and radical transformation? God Is Enough! This message comes through loud and clear in the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. While they failed time and again, God was faithful to convict, restore and bless them. And He is able to deal with our slipping and stumbling as well. Watchman Nee uses the lives of the patriarchs to show that God is able to turn our failure into success and our weakness into strength.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in 40 years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life - the theologian and the spy - to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

In this little volume of collected messages given over a long period of ministry by the author, and which are now translated and published in English for the first time, Watchman Nee shares with us the lessons on prayer that he has learned through the years.

So Good. Narrator is outstanding, as well!
I can understand why some may not be able to hang in there in the beginning. The beginning contains many names and places that are foreign to some of us, so it takes a bit more focus than most books, but that's just the start.
If you can make it past the first 30 minutes of the book, you'll be so happy you did!
This man is truly a pattern for all those who seek to live a life for Christ and the church. I suggest starting with this book, then checking out The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee. I don't care how long you've been a believer, if you haven't touched this yet, YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY. These two books will change the way you see your Christian living.
I'm pretty tough when it comes to sad stories, but I'll admit right now that I cried at the end of this book.
May the Lord richly bless all who hear this.

I first read Watchman Nee’s book The Normal Christian Life forty years ago as a new disciple of Christ and it greatly impacted my life. However, listening to Against the Tide deeply touched me as I fully understood Nee’s total commitment to Christ! It challenged and inspired me!

WASN'T AS ENJOYABLE AS EXPECTED
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I didn't enjoy this book as much as I expected to, knowing how much I enjoy listening to Watchman Nee's books. I haven't even finished listening to it. Maybe if I complete the book, by the end of it I may have changed my mind. But so far, it's boring.

Watchman Nee's Story, Dutifully Told
This biography, evidently compiled with the insight, detail and excellent spirit its subject demands, is a fitting ode to one of the finest and most effective spiritual teachers/martyrs of modern times. Set against the backdrop of China's trade with the West, Christian missions, Japanese occupation, and the rise of communism, it will resonate with Christ-seekers, eliciting passion, heartbreak, indignation and inspiration from the true events, and "truth events", of this remarkable peice of history. I had read Nee's writings, but this book filled a deep desire in me to be absorb the context in which his powerful message was forged and tested. I thank God for Watchman Nee, the gospel he taught, and also for Angus Kinnear's book about him. I cannot remain the same, and if you really soak it all in, neither will you.
