The Normal Christian Life

by Watchman Nee

Nee's exposition of Romans: the blood, the cross, identification with Christ, walking by the Spirit. Dense and beloved across evangelical traditions.

Skip it if…

you want a light devotional.

Try instead: Sit, Walk, Stand →

Three things you will actually use

Know, reckon, present.
The cross deals with the self.
Walk, do not strive.

Do this first

Read the chapters on reckoning yourself dead to sin.

Our verdict
