Wright Doyle's Biography of Nee

Wow, Ohio. Where do you find these things? It is good to have more sources. It confirms our findings.

I have finished the book by Dr Hsu. I am very saddened by the book, but not surprised. I believe Nee was a genuine believer and apostle. But one who fell into serious sins because he was unprotected. He should have surrounded himself by others and work with those who were his peers. Instead, he lived an isolated life and took all the matters of the church in his own hands. He became exceedingly uplifted and extremely fallen in his sins. His peers would have been his protection and help in his weakness. Though he preached this, he did not practice this. As a result, his ending was tragic. This a lessson for us all to learn.

Another point I want to make is this: I don't think Watchman Nee's early publications on Christ and life are invalid just because he fell into sin (his later publications are questionable). We are all sinners. God uses all kinds of people to spread the truth, to spread His word, to spread encouragement and inspiration. Watchman Nee was definitely one of them. But Nee was far from perfect as portrayed by Lee. Even though many received the Lord because of Nee, many also left the Lord because they were stumbled by him. The Lord has been speaking to me lately. Is my faith based on a person other than Christ? That was the lesson Hsu had to learn. She fell apart because her faith (unknowingly) was based on Nee, rather than Christ alone. The Lord was merciful to her and brought her back to Himself. This memoir serves as a help to others who are going through similar experiences. My faith was tested too when I discovered the true history of Lee, and now Nee...
