Synopsis:
The Christian life is based on the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and the transformation that results from the loving discipline of the Spirit. In The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Watchman Nee draws upon the experiences of these Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response to God's promises by faith to our ultimate transformation into sons who are conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have been given the promise of God for the inheritance; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for the sake of our growth and transformation.

About the Author:

Watchman Nee became a Christian in China at the age of 17 and began to write that same year. Through almost 30 years of ministry it was clear that he was a unique gift from the Lord for His church at that time. In 1952 he was imprisoned for his faith and remained in prison until his death in 1972. His words remain as a source of abundant spiritual revelation for Christians all over the world.
