Sit Walk Stand: The Process of Christian Maturity Paperback – January 15, 2009

Nee uses these three words--sit, walk, stand--to comprehensively describe the Christian life. Using scripture amd personal experiences, he leads the reader to see all things pertaining to the Christian life are to be approached through the cross, resurrection, and victory of Christ. Today, when there are many self-help and clever books, it's refreshing to read one that is practical and yey, fully centered on the Lord.

This short book provides a powerful yet easy to remember perspective on Ephesians. I’m very happy to have read it.

This is a great foundational book for all Christians. Many believers are facing unnecessary challenges over and over again because of not understanding the importance of the process of sitting, then walking and therefore standing in Christ. This is an essential process to reach maturity as a believer. I highly recommend this book.

This bok was great. It broke down the ephesians & it helped me look differently at the book. He is such a great author.

This book is filled with paradigm shifting insights into how to truly live the Christain life. The challenge to sit, walk, and stand is the correct order.

All this author's writings are reflective of a strong sincere faith that God is the one building individuals and local churches to His design and for His purpose, outlined in scripture and affirmed by His Holy Spirit. This book is a worthy companion to Watchman Nee's other books.

I have read this book many times and it continues to reveal the Truth of who we are in Jesus Christ

Sit, Walk, Stand by Watchman Nee is a treasure I can't believe I haven't read before. I picked it up since I was teaching on running away. Before I read the book a mere week before the retreat I had formed a conclusion based on study that the way to stop running away from God, problems, people, was to learn to walk by faith and then to stand (Ephesian 6). But Watchman Nee's brilliant little (only 67 pages) book on Ephesians had me adding in sitting as the critical foundation of it all.For those of you not familiar with Nee (1903-1972), he is one of the leaders of the indigenous church in China independent of foreign misionary organizations. He was also a prolific writer. He was arrested in 1952 and imprisoned for his faith until his death in 1972.Two excerpts to whet your appetite:"Only those who can sit can stand. Our power for standing, as for walking, lies first in our having first been made to sit together with Christ. The Christian's walk and warfare alike derive their strength from his position there. If he is not sitting before God he cannot hope to stand before the enemy." (pg. 44)"God never asks us to do anything we can do. He asks us to live a life which we can never live and to do a work which we can never do. Yet, by his grace, we are living it and doing it. The life we life is the life of Christ lived in the power of God, and the work we do isteh work of Christ carried on through us by his Spirit whom we obey." (pg. 58)You'll be able top read this book in one sitting...but you'll want to savor it.
