Overview

The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1985, volume 1, contains messages given by Brother Witness Lee from January 3 through September 21, 1985. In 1985 Brother Lee spoke fifty-five messages that were published in The Conclusion of the New Testament. These Life-study messages are not included in The Collected Works of Witness Lee. In early January Brother Lee returned to Anaheim, California, from Irving, Texas. He visited Irvine, California, on January 5, and then returned to Anaheim before traveling to Taipei, Taiwan, a few days later. He returned to Anaheim near the beginning of March and remained there until the beginning of April, at which time he went again to Taipei for about two months. At the beginning of June he returned to Anaheim and, except for a brief visit to Berkeley, California, at the end of August, he remained in Anaheim until the end of September. The contents of this volume are divided into five sections, as follows: 1. Five messages given in Anaheim, California, in various meetings with elders and responsible brothers on January 3 through September 21. These messages are included in this volume under the title Principles for Practicing the New Way. 2. A message given in Irvine, California, to Chinese-speaking saints and gospel friends on January 5. This message was translated into English and is included in this volume under the title The Church Life Being the Highest Social Life. 3. Twelve messages given in Taipei, Taiwan, on January 14 through 19. These messages were previously published in Chinese and English in a book entitled Crucial Words of Leading in the Lord's Recovery, Book 4: The Increase and Spread of the Church. They are included in this volume under the same title. 4. Eighteen messages given in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on February 4 through May 9.

About the Author

Born in 1905 in northern China, Witness Lee was raised in a Christian family and educated in English-speaking schools. At the age of 19 he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and consecrated himself to preach the gospel. Early in his service, Witness Lee met Watchman Nee and began to labor together with him. In 1949 Witness Lee was sent by Watchman Nee to Taiwan to ensure that the things delivered to them by the Lord would be preserved. In 1962 Witness Lee came to the United States and began to minister here. He ministered in weekly conferences, delivering several thousand spoken messages until 1997. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. His major work, Life-Study of the Bible, comprises 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 Spirit.
