Description from homeschooloasis.com
This book “stresses one basic lesson every servant of God must learn (yet that many miss): that any measure of fruitfulness requires the breaking of the outward man to allow the release of the Spirit.”
The analogy Mr. Nee gives for this is that of a sealed vial of expensive perfume being broken in order for the precious contents to be able to pour out.
This book spoke to my heart loudly and illuminated many things that had been unclear, confusing, and frustrating to me in my Christian walk prior to reading it. It is excellent! In fact, it is one of those books that can and should be re-read because every time you read it, you are in a different place in your walk.
Points that impacted me:
Anyone who serves God will discover the great hindrance he has in the Lord's work is not others, but himself.
When reading the Bible- we must think as the writer
Allow your spirit to touch and minister to others.
