The Recovery of the Church

by Witness Lee

This book is intended as an aid to believers in developing a daily time of morning revival with the Lord in His word. At the same time, it provides a limited review of the International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones held in Leipzig, Germany, on October 5-7, 2017. The general subject of the training was “The Recovery of the Church.” Through intimate contact with the Lord in His word, the believers can be constituted with life and truth and thereby equipped to prophesy in the meetings of the church unto the building up of the Body of Christ.

About the author

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.

[Stefan Misaras · Rating 5 out of 5]

Based on the 2017 fall International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones in Leipzig, Germany, the Holy Word for Morning Revival on "The Recovery of the Church" is a rich exposition and diving into this much-needed topic. What is in God's heart is just the church - He planned it in eternity past, He gained it in time, He is building it throughout the ages, and He will obtain the built-up corporate expression, His bride. We need to see, however, what was the original condition of the church, how the church was degraded, how the Lord recovers the church, what is the recovery of the church life, and what are the statuses of the church. May we have the Lord's heart's desire infused into us that we may cooperate with Him for the building up of the church!
