Publisher Description
Nee-To-Sheng of Foochow, China is known as Watchman Nee to hundreds of thousands of Christians around the world who have encountered his books. The Release of the Spirit is one of his most powerfully challenging works. Watchman Nee exhorts believers that through the breaking of the outward man there comes a release of the inward Spirit. By means of our brokenness the Spirit rejuvenates our faith and makes us fit for service. // Watchman Nee knew about suffering. In his native China he suffered as a Christian. And he witnessed the brokenness in thousands of Christians, created by unusually difficult circumstances. In the midst of such discomfort it remains a testimony to his insightfulness that he preached the spiritual value of suffering instead of dreaming for a better earthly life. The Release of the Spirit will challenge all who engage it today.

"One of the most practical guides for growing up and understanding that God is ever present, but the release of His Spirit is a partnership where we grow and follow instructions; thus releasing His Spirit. It very well describe the difference between the manifold and abiding presence of God."

" How could a book so short take me a month to read? The answer: The truths in this little book are so profound that I found myself daily re-reading chapters. Lots to "chew on." "

" Amazing book. I plan to go back through and journal my way. I really want to live in the present always abiding place. However, that also means living in that always submissive place of brokenness before the Lord. "

" A good read, laden with insight "

" This book by Watchman Nee speaks about seeing sanctification in the Christian life. Some of it is challenging. The words it uses are somewhat outdated, so it's tough at first. Once you learn the vocabulary, however, it is very good. Suggested. "
— Rewdy, 6/7/2010 -
" beautifully written (from a Christian point of view) "

About Watchman Nee
Watchman Nee (1903–1972) is remembered for his leadership of an indigenous church movement in China, as well as for his books, which continue to enrich Christians throughout the world. Beginning in the 1930s, he helped establish local churches in China that were independent of foreign missionary organizations and were used to bring many into the Kingdom of God. From these roots sprang many of the house churches that continued to meet after Western missionaries were forced to leave the country during the Cultural Revolution. Arrested in 1952 and found guilty of a large number of false charges, Nee was imprisoned until his death.
