The Normal Christian Life is based on talks given in Denmark during a trip to Europe in 1938-1939. Here Nee presents his views on what the normal Christian life should be and summarizes what "normal" is for a Christian with "I live no longer, but Christ lives his life in me" (Gal. 2:20). Watchman Nee was a church leader and Christian teacher in China during the first half of the 20th century. He initiated church meetings published numerous books expounding the Bible. He established churches throughout China and held many conferences to train Bible students and church workers. Following the Communist Revolution, Nee was persecuted and imprisoned for his faith and spent the last twenty years of his life in prison.
