Okay, but I actually didn't ask how they got into print, just which books were the best (and worst).
Many on here may be quite biased against ANY of their publications,
so let me start it out by stating one best for each.
NEE - The Normal Christian Life Several I know, including myself, have gotten (and continue to get) liberating help from this book.
LEE - The Speciality, Generality, and Practicality of the Church Life In reading this book with some Ohio LC bros (back in the 80s), I had perhaps the strongest bubbling-up enjoyment of the Lord I've ever had.
Alright, load up your cannons . . .
