Customer Reviews

This is good stuff!
Watchman Nee spent much of his life in prison for preaching Jesus Christ in China. This was back around the early 1900's, when gospel resistance was exceedingly fierce for missionaries in Asia. His books and teachings were written mostly behind bars, under the oppression of his communist jailers. God was with him in prison, though, and rewarded his faithfulness by allowing him to lead several prison guards to Christ before he died.

All Nee's books were originally written in Chinese, and they have a certain insight into Christ that I have found unique. This man knew God, there is no doubt. He was intimate with the Holy Spirit, and God gave him revelation in prayer. To Nee, prayer is simply aligning your will with God's will.

Of course, prayer is anything but simple. Prayer is often painful and taxing. What Nee does is lay down the basic rudiments for effective prayer: 1) Praying in God's will, birthed from the desire to know the heart of God on any given subject, and 2) Perseverence in prayer, or more specifically, praying until the burden is lifted.

The second half of the book offers a teaching on Satan's tactics to disrupt the prayer life of a saint, and how to pray effectively in a group meeting. Really good stuff, I think. Books like these are good to have, keeping parts highlighted for quick access when your spirit starts to ebb. Prayer is the most important part of the Christian's walk, the part Satan attacks the most, and it is wise to read as much as we can by men who have excelled in it.

Efficacious Techniques for Christian Prayer
I give this book a very high rating due to the fact that Watchmen Nee provides us with so much useful information to help us in our daily walk with Christ. 'Let Us Pray' makes the basics of prayer available to us so that we may come to God with effective and fervent prayer. Watchman Nee expresses the importance of knowing what we Christians have to deal with daily so we may conquer the opposition and allow Gods will to prevail on earth. This book is essential for anyone who calls himself a follower of Christ ; it is also rewarding to anyone who wishes to sharpen their effectiveness in the dimension of prayer.

A wonderful book on prayer
Next to the Bible itself, this is probably the best book I have ever read on prayer. (That is not to say that there may not be better books out there, but I have yet to come across them.) The insight in this book really sheds some wonderful light on various Biblical passages on the subject. This text will enhance your understanding of Scripture and the manner in which God works. And most importantly, it will prompt you to seek a deeper relationship with the Lord, and it offers some wonderful insight in how to do so. I bought copies of this book for my entire family at Christmastime. This book is sure to be a blessing for all who read it.
