The Spiritual Man is a translation of the only book of any
substantial size which brother Watchman Nee himself ever wrote. At
the time of writing it he felt this work might be his last contribution
to the church, although since then God has graciously overruled.
Long after the book’s initial publication in Chinese our brother once
was heard to express the thought that it should not be reprinted
because, it being such a “perfect” treatment of its subject, he was
fearful lest the book become to its readers merely a manual of principles and not a guide to experience as well. But in view of the
urgent need among the children of God today for help on spiritual
life and warfare, and knowing our brother as one who is always open
to God’s way and most desirous to serve His people with all that God
has given him, we conclude that he would doubtless permit it to be
circulated in English. Hence this translation.

For some reason this isn't downloading. This is a book that greatly opened my eyes to the fullest glory of the HOLY SPIRIT's working within our lives, and truly want to re read it!!!
