About this ebook

The profound thought of the Bible is that God wants to impart His divine life and nature into His redeemed and regenerated elect in order to make them God-men. To accomplish this desire God first created man as a vessel for Himself and then presented Himself to man as food. All believers know the importance of loving and serving the Lord. However, many have not seen the need to receive Him as their supply and content. The believers need to daily be bountifully supplied with the divine life in order to be recovered to the central desire of God.

In The Lord’s Recovery of Eating, Witness Lee unveils the fundamental scriptural truth that we must breathe the Lord as the living air, drink Him as the living water, and eat Him as the bread of life to receive Him and enjoy Him in our regenerated human spirit through a normal living of calling on His name.

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.
