Overview

"Against the Tide: The Unforgettable Story Behind Watchman Nee" by Angus Kinnear chronicles the life of Watchman Nee, a prominent Christian leader who stood against the tide of Chinese Marxist atheism and Communism in the first half of the twentieth century. Once labeled "the most dangerous man in China," Nee faced severe persecution for his faith, including a 20-year sentence of hard labor, brainwashing, and physical torture. Throughout his imprisonment, it is believed he was denied access to a Bible and relied on the scriptures he had memorized.

Watchman Nee once remarked after enduring a significant trial of faith: "To keep our hand to the plough while wiping away our tears - that is Christianity." Despite the suffering he faced, his last letter before his death revealed the joy that remained in his heart. This biography details his remarkable journey from birth to conversion, through his extraordinary life and trials, to his eventual death. It also includes new insights into his final years and the persecution faced by his beloved wife, Charity, after his imprisonment.
