God's salvation is truly wonderful! God desires not only to save us from eternal perdition, but also to grow in us, transform us, and eventually glorify us that we would be His glorious expression for eternity. In order for us to fully enjoy His marvelous salvation, we must pass through many spiritual experiences and practical dealings, including purifying our heart, confessing our sins, being enlightened by God, consecrating ourselves to God, living by our conscience, and learning to serve God by His power and not our own. In The Pure in Heart Witness Lee presents many practical principles which open the way for believers to progress in their Christian experience. From the first chapter to the last, The Pure in Heart provides both spiritual insight and experiential illustrations to aid in our enjoyment of God's rich salvation for the accomplishment of His heart's desire.
Witness Lee (李常受, pinyin Lǐ Chángshòu) was a Chinese Christian preacher associated with the Local Churches movement and the founder of Living Stream Ministry. He was born in the city of Yantai, Shandong Province, China, in 1905, to a Southern Baptist family. He became a Christian in 1925 after hearing the preaching of Peace Wang and later became a close coworker of Watchman Nee. Witness Lee moved to Taiwan in 1949 as the Communists were advancing in mainland China. During the 1950s, his ministry extended throughout Southeast Asia and in 1962 Lee moved to the United States, relocating the base of his ministry to Southern California. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. Many of Lee's spoken messages have been published in over 400 books and translated into more than fourteen different languages. Lee's major work is Life-study of the Bible, comprising over 25,000 pages of commentary on every book of the Bible from the perspective of the believers' enjoyment and experience of God's divine life in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Lee was also the chief editor of a new translation of the Bible entitled the Recovery Version.
