Sit, Walk, Stand is a small book with a big message. It’s sold as a study of Ephesians, but it’s much more than that. In 78 short pages the author describes the three aspects of the believer – to God, to man, and to the enemy. The best summary of the book is the one the author provides on the last page…

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.
This little book was incredible! At least the first chapter and the last 15 pgs were. The middle was a little questionable, not as much in theory, but application. I don’t know if it would work out quiet like he describes. This book needs to be read immediately after reading Ephesians and with your bible your other hand. It had a lot - or at least some - things that I thought “must be wrong”, but then I couldn’t think of how I could biblically discredit it. This small book demands further study,...more
Sit, Walk, Stand is based on the three key words which divide the book of Ephesians into its basic sections. Our position in Christ is one of sitting, our life in the world is one of walking and our attitude toward Satan is one of standing. The Christian's entire life is to be founded and lived out from the finished work of Jesus. In it's 78 pages the book concisely sums up a massive amount of Biblical theology and applies it to the believer's every day life. Watchman Nee takes the grand theolog...more
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a little short and I would have enjoyed a few more pages. But, it's length serves the purpose Nee was trying to accomplish. The title itself points to specific steps which the organization of the chapters delivers. The concepts expressed by Nee were clear and concise. I found them both accessable and applicable in day to day living. While I would not recommend this book as a reference book for Ephesians, it is a good addition to anyone growing their library...more
The first Christian book I ever purchased. I have returned to it year after year. Watchman Nee is a brilliant writer and his insights on the power book of Ephesians is remarkable. For a new Christian this is a remarkable book to get our spiritual growth on the right track... to be seated with Christ in heaven.... rest.... is the foundation stone for both our walk and warfare in Jesus Christ. I've read much of Watchman Nee's writing but for me, Sit,Walk,Stand is the best of all.
So many of us so easily become confused with the whole grace, works, obedience thing. we are told to rest and trust god one minute then fight and run the race to win the next. This fantastic little book succinctly and clearly explains the relationship between understanding what has already been done before responding to that truth. Née is my favorite new creation teacher because he exlains so much, yet writes so little.. Clarity and brevity at its finest!. Must read!
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 should learn to stan...more
If you're not familiar with Watchman Nee and you're looking for a book to freshen your faith, start here. Sit, Walk, Stand is a short piece unpacking verses throughout Ephesians which will bring you to the Lord and keep you there too.
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.
This book was a great reminder of who we are in Christ and how we ought to walk. Even though I was very familiar with the book of Ephesians, this book/study on the truths of Paul was refreshing and encouraging.
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.

I could find none of Watchman Nee's writings that disappointed me. On a quest to grow closer to Christ, this book spurred me on to be my best for Christ.
very straight forward, includes great personal application stories from nee as he explains the sit, walk, stand life in Christ explained in ephesians
A wonderful little book that succeeds in a big way on bringing the clarity of the gospel out through the study of Ephesians.
An incredible walk through Ephesians by a man put in a Chinese prison for his faith in Christ Jesus.
Super great. The message is simple, utterly fundamental and for some reason so easily forgotten.
This is probably the best Christian book I've ever read. Every Christian should read it!
The writer has street cred. He wrote this from prison. It's worthwhile.
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.
So So So So SO much meat in this little bitty book!
Good short overview of the book of Ephesians.
A great exposition on the book of Ephesians!

Watchman Nee (Chinese: 倪柝聲; pinyin: Ní Tuòshēng; Foochow Romanized: Ngà̤ Táuk-sĭng; 1903–1972) was a Chinese Christian author and church leader during the early 20th century. He spent the last 20 years of his life in prison and was severely persecuted by the Communists in China. Together with Wangzai, Zhou-An Lee, Shang-Jie Song, and others, Nee founded The Church Assembly Hall, later which would...more
