Collected messages, chosen for their single subject, in which Watchman Nee argues that the body of Christ is a reality to be lived rather than an abstract idea. Published by Christian Fellowship Publishers, the chapters treat life and consciousness, the consciousness of the body of Christ, holding fast the Head, the service and function of each member, obeying the law of the body, and its covering and restraint.
