Latent Power of the Soul
The greatest advantage in knowing the difference between spirit and soul, claims Watchman Nee, is in perceiving the latent power of the earth-bound soul and in understanding its falsification of the power of the Holy Spirit.

I'm not sure if you'll ever find a spiritual book as deeply profound as this one. Consequently, Watchman takes you back to the beginning of creation and explains expounds on the spiritual behind the physical of all that still affects you and me in the world all around us.
Great foundational source of inspirational spiritual knowledge…

Very informative and eye-opening. From this I take away this quote in the conclusion:
"I believe many people are so rich and strong that they give no ground for God to work. I frequently recall the words, "helpless and hopeless." I must tell God, "All that I have is Yours, I myself have nothing. Apart from You I am truly helpless and hopeless." We need to have such a dependant attitude towards God that it is as if we cannot inhale or exhale without Him. In this way we shall see that our power as...more

Reads like a thesis, very repetitive and quotes only from one source, aside from the big book. Don't agree with some statements such as animals are so base and "mere flesh", science and scripture have already proven otherwise. Understandably it was written in 1933. Not too persuasive but there are strong points. It's important to read carefully.
I enjoyed the book but wondered if some Christians wouldn't be able to grasp what the author was talking about in regards to the subject matter and this fact might be more damaging than helpful.
I thought it was great. However, i am having a hard time with his quoting of the Bible. Must be read carefully.
"My hope for today is that you may be helped to know the source and the operations of the latent power of the soul."
My summary of Nee's comments in this book: mankind has supernatural powers inside himself that are separate from God's supernatural powers. However, as soon as man accesses/utilizes these, they become demonically fueled. Therefore, we must stay away from them. Hope that helps.
