About the author

Witness Lee

2,067 books115 followers
Witness Lee (李常受, pinyin Lǐ Chángshòu) was a Chinese Christian preacher associated with the Local Churches movement and the founder of Living Stream Ministry. He was born in the city of Yantai, Shandong Province, China, in 1905, to a Southern Baptist family. He became a Christian in 1925 after hearing the preaching of Peace Wang and later became a close coworker of Watchman Nee. Witness Lee moved to Taiwan in 1949 as the Communists were advancing in mainland China. During the 1950s, his ministry extended throughout Southeast Asia and in 1962 Lee moved to the United States, relocating the base of his ministry to Southern California. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. Many of Lee's spoken messages have been published in over 400 books and translated into more than fourteen different languages. Lee's major work is Life-study of the Bible, comprising over 25,000 pages of commentary on every book of the Bible from the perspective of the believers' enjoyment and experience of God's divine life in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Lee was also the chief editor of a new translation of the Bible entitled the Recovery Version.

This was my least favorite of the trilogy just because I felt it was repetitive and had lengthy chapters. It was still meaningful but took me a long time to get through due to needing longer time for reflection.

Some things are related from Volume 2 but it's still a good short book to encourage your relationship with Christ.

Great read from Nee and Lee. They really know how to show the things from Scripture about life and Christ Himself. I you liked this, you'll love "Glorious Church"

Two trees God uses to speak to u. The tree of life and the tree of knowledge of Good and evil. He is the great "I am"... "I am" whatever people need-God.
