The Normal Christian Church Life

This volume was originally published in Chinese in 1938. In it the author outlined the nature of New Testament Christianity as seen in the establishment of local churches and the corporate life of a community of believers who function together in a biblical manner. Its influence was felt immediately throughout all of China and much of the rest of Asia. There was a great demand for an edition in English, so the author made the translation himself and it was published under the title, Concerning Our Missions. But at that time its message made no extensive penetration into North America. Today, however, there is an increasing hunger for reality in Christian experience, and for renewed power and life among groups of believers who long to be a local expression of the Body of Christ. To all such Watchman Nee has a message, with his gifted insight into the Word of God and his experimental knowledge of life in the Spirit.
