PREFACE

This is one in a series of six booklets providing basic materials for shepherding new believers. The content is based entirely upon the writings of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. The references at the end of each lesson comprise a more complete treatment of its subject. Please note that CWWN and CWWL refer, respectively, to The Collected Works of Watchman Nee and The Collected Works of Witness Lee. Scripture verses and the footnotes quoted are from the Holy Bible Recovery Version, published by Living Stream Ministry. The outlines, footnotes, and references in the Recovery Version are by Witness Lee. All the outlines are based upon the written ministry of Witness Lee and Watchman Nee.
