"The Normal Christian Life", considered to be a spiritual classic by many Christians is one of the best known books by Watchman Nee. It is based on talks given by Watchman Nee during and after his trip through Europe in 1938-1939. This book was originally published in 1957 from a collection of Nee's spoken messages and magazine articles. It is based on the first few chapters of the New Testament book of Romans. In "The Normal Christian Life", Watchman Nee presents his views on what the normal Christian life should be. His classic work unfolds the path of "Christian Life" in the light of God's heart's desire and presents the eternal purpose of God in simple terms. This book has sold over 250,000 copies and is available in many languages.

The Normal Christian Life is a Romans-centered exposition of what Christian living should be. The key verse is Romans 6:6: "Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin as slaves." Here in this book Nee brings an eternal perspective to the work of Christ (verses 7 to 11). The writings of Watchman Nee focus much on the enjoyment of the divine life, which all the believers possess, and the goal of God's work with man through His Son by His Spirit in this age.
