      The Finest of the Wheat, volumes 1 and 2
      (each volume sold separately)

      As the psalmist Asaph sang one day about the goodness of the Lord towards His people, he was wont to conclude his song by declaring that Jehovah "would feed them also with the finest of the wheat" (Ps 81:16a) The apostle James reinforced this statement by noting that "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming from the Father of lights, with who can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning" (James 1:17). Whatever God gives is always the best. Ultimately, He gave us His only begotten Son, and with Him all things (see Rom 8:32).

      We are thankful to the Lord that because of His great love for the Church He has sent throughout the centuries many of His choice servants to help build up our holy faith. Their lives and teachings become the heritage of the Church, which ought to be preserved. In our own time, Watchman Nee was one such choice servant given by God to His Church. He was called to serve the Lord in his youth; and from the time he was saved in 1920 to the time he was imprisoned in 1952, he faithfully and diligently served the Master he loved. Moreover Watchman Nee was a man with deep spiritual insight, and was given great understanding of the word of God. He traveled far and wide and delivered many messages from the Lord to the Church. Because of his faith he was jailed. But though his voice was silenced during twenty long years of imprisonment, he nonetheless still speaks today. The messages and writings, which he presented in the days of freedom, have over the years been published in Chinese and also translated into many other languages. In the English version alone, there are some seventy volumes of varying size that have been published. Many are the testimonies of lives transformed and God glorified.

      In order to preserve the best of brother Nee's thoughts and teachings, we have taken excerpts from nearly all his published words and now offer this two-volume collection of
      The Finest of the Wheat to our readers. These extracts are grouped together under about fifty topics and are appropriately introduced by a sketch of the life of their author that has been provided by the Publisher's translator.

      We want to express our thanks to Dr. Angus I. Kinnear of London for giving us permission to print extracts taken from his copyrighted materials of some of brother Nee's books. The bulk of the excerpts appearing in this collection, however have been culled from our own publications of Watchman Nee's works. A few remaining ones have been derived from fresh translations into English made by the Publisher's translator from particular portions of the Chinese originals.

      May the blessed Lord take, as it were, this "five loaves and two fishes," bless it, break it and give to His own - that it may multiply even further the glory to His name.
