Church Unity and its companion volume Let's Return To Christian Unity present the strongest call to return to oneness in the body of Christ that has been issued in our lifetime. Watchman Nee of China wrote on this subject in the 1930's, Kokichi Kurosaki of Japan wrote in the 1960's, Warren Litzman wrote in the 1990's, yet their call is the those who know Him and hold Him above all else must become an example to all believers by returning to unity in the body of Christ. Read what these men, coming from three different generations and three different backgrounds, have to say. After reading these two books, pass them on to your friends. Look for a ground swell at the grass roots of people returning to the unobstructed and unconditional unity of His people. We can return to oneness in the body of Christ.
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 be also known as the "Local churches" (Chinese: 地方教會). or more commonly as (聚會所) meaning "assembly hall"
Born into a Methodist family, Watchman Nee experienced a religious revival, and joined the Church of Heavenly Peace, Fuzhou in 1920 at age 17 and began writing in the same year. In 1921, he met the British missionary M. E. Barber, who was a great influence on him. Through Miss Barber, Nee was introduced to many of the Christian writings which were to have a profound influence on him and his teachings. Nee attended no theological schools or Bible institutes. His knowledge was acquired through studying the Bible and reading various Christian spiritual books. During his 30 years of ministry, beginning in 1922, Nee traveled throughout China planting churches among the rural communities and holding Christian conferences and trainings in Shanghai. In 1952 he was imprisoned for his faith; he remained in prison until his death in 1972.
