This is one of those books that took me longer to read than I would have thought when I looked at its diminutive size. I found myself reading a page and then going back to read it again several times. There were some very timely lessons for my own life in this book. This will be one of those books that I will go back and read again from time to time.

when it comes to books that make an impact, change your thinking and move you beyond where you thought you could go, this book was it for me! so much insight and understanding! so much pressure removed! WOW! i must admit that the "walk" section did not impact me as much as the other two did, but this book is what i have been looking for! oh to have this revelation sink into my heart and change who i am. this is a must read for anyone who really wants to walk with God.

It reveals the three progressive moves of God for Christian growth - all from the book of Ephesians. The need to sit (wait to learn at God's feet and be led) Eph 2:6; Walk (on the basis of what you have learnt and be able to make success of your life as God leads)Eph 4:1 Stand (Resist every move of the enemy to truncate your destiny) Eph 6:11

I read this Watchman Nee classic nearly thirty years ago. It is as fresh today and as full of spiritual insight for me as it was then. Rotted in St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians, Nee takes the reader through the steps outlines by Paul to become an overcomer in the spiritual battle all Christians face.

How much can you put into a book that's less than 70 pages long? Ah, if Mr. Nee weren't already impressive for his faithfulness before and during the (earthly) oppression he experienced in his life. Don't know how to describe what a gift this book was to me - peacebringer. :)

It was a good book because it's short (64 pages) and very much to the point. He kind of reminds me of Joyce Meyer in that they're both "Here's what you need to do; do it." kind of people. Although when Joyce says it it's more like, "Stop being an idiot and do what you're supposed to do." The premise of this book is basically Christians should first learn how to sit (or rest) with God. Then they should learn to walk (live a righteous life in Christ) with God, and finally they

Awesome, awesome book. It totally blew me away, especially the final section on warfare. I was fairly knowledgeable about spiritual warfare heading into this one, but Nee really added some perspective to the whole topic that I'd never considered before. This one's a must read.

From a "religion geek" perspective, quite an amazing little book. A lot of American evangelicals love this book, even though Ni's theological perspective is saturated with aspects of Chinese religion. Call it ironic, maybe in the cosmic sense. So, along with being an outstanding example of spiritual literary art, this book has also landed in a peculiar place in the history of North American Protestantism.

We sit - humbly accepting Gods ownership of us. This is our position with Him eternally.
We Walk - daily living out our calling in this world.
We stand - against Satan for God... and all in that order

A small book with a lot to say.
My small group read it in preparation for a study of Ephesians. We did each chapter in a week but could have taken some more time to soak it in.

An incredible walk through Ephesians by a man put in a Chinese prison for his faith in Christ Jesus.

Slowly reading this book to take it all in. There's a lot of things that are challenging in here.

This is probably the best Christian book I've ever read. Every Christian should read it!

I have read this twice. Nee can be deep at times but is always helpful.

Practical book about the Christian life, going through the book of Ephesians.

This was so good. It took me quite a while to read because I really wanted to learn everything he talked about (I'm still working on that, btw). There's just too much stuff in here to mention it all, but the lessons I've learned about total reliance on Christ's finished work in me (sitting), allowing him to work that out in my daily life (walking), and the revelation that spiritual warfare is just holding the ground that God has already won for me (standing) and not "fighting" for it,

Brilliantly simple analysis of the book of Ephesians. You can't finish the first chapter of this slim volume without grasping the concept: SIT (you are seated with Christ in the heavenly places); WALK (walk with Christ in your daily life); STAND (combat evil by standing with Christ in his victory).

My favorite Christian Living book. Short. Sweet. Details a jaunt thru Ephesians to explain just how MUCH God has done, and how learning to rest in that is the beginning to doing something in this Christian life.

This book is a great encouragement when it comes to a walk with God. It is a wonderful study on the Book of Ephesians.

A study on the book of Ephesians. I enjoyed and felt encouraged and built up in my faith through this study.
