Description: Quality Hardcover Christian Classics at Paperback Prices. Watchman Nee (1903-1972) was born in Swatow, Fukien province, China. He was converted at the age of 17, read extensively and had an acute knowledge of church history. He was arrested and imprisoned by the Communists in 1952 and died in prison.
“God makes it quite clear in his Word that he has only one answer to every human need—his Son, Jesus Christ. In all his dealings with us he works by taking us out of the way and substituting Christ in our place. The Son of God died instead of us for our forgiveness: he lives instead of us for our deliverance. So we can speak of two substitutions—a Substitute on the Cross who secures our forgiveness and a Substitute within who secures our victory.”
An early leader in what became China's phenomenal house church movement, Watchman Nee (1903-1972) spent the last 20 years of his life in a communist prison. This powerful meditation brings the daily reality of following Christ into sharp focus.
