Watchman Nee Anecdotes Philip H Lin

Brother Watchman Nee's spiritual ministry has been a rich supply to many Christians worldwide, and his name is familiar to many believers all over the world. After going to Hong Kong in February 1950 to conduct a special conference for the church there, he returned to Shanghai on March 17, and was arrested and imprisoned in 1952, and died in prison in 1972. In this book, readers will come to know many valuable anecdotes of Brother Nee which have not been published. This book presents many forgotten anecdotes of Brother Nee from several sources. Anecdotes come from Brother Nee's testimony in his writings, The Collected Works of Watchman Nee; from one of the deacons in the church in Shanghai in the 1940s and the financial audit director in Brother Nee's Shanghai pharmaceutical office, Brother Zhang Xikang; and from Brother Nee's prison cellmate, Brother Wu Yuchi. This writer received much reliable first-hand information concerning Brother Nee's life since his return to Shanghai from Hong Kong in 1950 until his death in prison. The materials covered in this book, particularly since 1950, have never been published in English and are now made available for the first time. Brother Nee's faith in the Lord never changed. He poured himself out for the care of the churches. From these anecdotes, we see what a good pattern he was for us to follow.
