Once described as 'The most dangerous
man in China', Watchman Nee was imprisoned for his faith, sentenced
to 20 years' hard labour, brainwashing and physical torture.
It is almost certain that in all that time he was not allowed a
Bible.
When he died, a piece of paper was
found beneath his pillow with several lines in large letters:
'Christ is the Son of God. He died as the Redeemer for human
beings and was raised up from the dead after three days.
This is the biggest thing in the universe. I shall die for
believing in Christ.'
Nee once observed following a severe
trial of faith: 'To keep our hand to the plough while wiping away
our tears - that is Christianity.' Yet even in his last letter
he was able to testify to the joy that was still in his heart.
Let this astonishing biography inspire
you to a new level of faith and commitment.
