Excellent biography of a faithful Christian

I have read many of Watchman Nee's works. Hearing his life story gave me greater insight as to how the Spirit was working in and through him.

So Good. Narrator is outstanding, as well!

I can understand why some may not be able to hang in there in the beginning. The beginning contains many names and places that are foreign to some of us, so it takes a bit more focus than most books, but that's just the start.

If you can make it past the first 30 minutes of the book, you'll be so happy you did!

This man is truly a pattern for all those who seek to live a life for Christ and the church. I suggest starting with this book, then checking out The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee. I don't care how long you've been a believer, if you haven't touched this yet, YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY. These two books will change the way you see your Christian living.

I'm pretty tough when it comes to sad stories, but I'll admit right now that I cried at the end of this book.

May the Lord richly bless all who hear this.

This book greatly impacted my life!

I first read Watchman Nee’s book The Normal Christian Life forty years ago as a new disciple of Christ and it greatly impacted my life. However, listening to Against the Tide deeply touched me as I fully understood Nee’s total commitment to Christ! It challenged and inspired me!

Wonderful uplifting biography

The story of Watchman Née and his heroic testimony are an important warning for today's church.

WASN'T AS ENJOYABLE AS EXPECTED

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I expected to, knowing how much I enjoy listening to Watchman Nee's books. I haven't even finished listening to it. Maybe if I complete the book, by the end of it I may have changed my mind. But so far, it's boring.
