The Overcoming Life By Watchman Nee

In this book, Watchman Nee outlines the pathway for "those who have an ear to hear". Like a skilled physician, he first exposes the problems besetting seeking Christians. Using God's Word, he candidly examines the defeated state of the believers, then presses for a cure, opening up a revelation of the victorious, overcoming Christ. 

Have you ever struggled to become a better Christian? Ever wondered how to live a life that's marked by victory rather than an ongoing battle against sin? This book explains in simple terms the problem with this kind of thinking and shows that the grace and power of Christ provide all we need to live the Overcoming Life.

Nee's thoughts, teachings, and conclusions are presented in a clear, concise, and straightforward manner, based solidly on Scripture. It allows the reader to absorb and receive the seldom-taught biblical truth that it is not our work as Christians to strive to attain an overcoming life--it is by grace we are saved, and it is by grace that we can live out the abundant life. He says, "Man's way is to suppress sin. But God's way is to perform a miracle by removing the old man and cleansing the heart altogether," (p. 43). These teachings on what is ours by faith, surrender, and victory are vital and life-changing.
