The Breaking of the Outer Man and the Release of the Spirit

If your thinking of getting this book , it's a must have read ! Life changing.

What this book says, very few people can explain. Once you read this book, you just start seeing how God works. It will mature you, if you allow God to touch you through this book. It put me on the next level in my spiritual growth. It is a small book but packed with so much incredibly important concepts and advice. I cannot emphasize the importance of reading this book within a few sentences. I tell people that most pastors would not dare speak some of this real truth in their sermons. It helps knowing the truth!

This is a must read to all! The understanding that God gave to this man is amazing and is available to us as well. We must allow the Holy Spirit to take a through. Its unfortunate that not too many 'ministers' and 'pastors' and those who are so eager to go into the ministry would fast and pray with this book first. One must surrender and successfully experience the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of the Cross before one can be empowered at Pentecost! You cannot have the Cross before the Upper room. Too many are pushed into ministry like Martha before they truly are laying and surrendered at the feet of Jesus like Mary. This is why you see the apostasy and hypocrisy and the lack of power within the 'church' too. Too much carnality, programs and own agendas in the pulpit. If you are not emptied out at His feet and ready to forsake all, then you have no business in the pulpit because then you are without true power and without the RELEASE OF THE SPIRIT! Go somewhere and die: die to self, ones own schedules, dreams, agenda, youthful lusts, strongholds, worldly mind sets, educational opinions etc! Let Christ break you down to nothing and then He will build you in His Spirit. Matt 6:32 "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness....and then He will add unto you.."

One of the most profoundly life changing books I've ever read. Gave me a completely new appreciation for the trials of life rather than begging God to take them away. They can be a wonderful gift!

Insightful and blessed read. Buy and be Led by the Spirit!

Pg 13. We have to remember that all misunderstandings, complaints and dissatisfaction arise from only one thing, secret self-love. Because we love ourselves secretly, we try to save ourselves. This is a big problem. Many times problems arise because we try to save ourselves. 🤨

Great Book

I am still reading this one because it’s not the kind of book you can rush through. It is very meaty. You have to digest it chapter by chapter.

excellent and simply written for spiritual growth. I recommend it for all christians

Very good book

Watchman Nee was a very successful Christian leader in procommunist China who later died for his faith. He helped to establish many hundreds of new churches. He explains the profound but essential Christian truths in a clear and practical way. Reading his books has helped me to mature as a Christian.

I've found it very helpful in trying to get rid of bad habits

Read this book about 20yrs ago and it answered so many of the questions I had about what I was going through on my then Christian journey. If you are hungry for God and you are going through a refining season, read it and be released or at least gain some understanding of the situation you find yourself in and why.
