Speaking the Truth in Love: A True Account of Events and Concerns Related to The Local Churches 1987-1989
Price range: $3.99 through $22.99“Having been a close observer of the tumultuous events that have transpired and the change of course that has taken place during the past few years in the local churches under the leadership of Witness Lee, and having been myself an intimate co-worker of Witness Lee’s and an elder in the local churches for more than twenty-five years, I feel it is appropriate and indeed obligatory for me to relate an account of my own observations, inward exercises, and responses. I do this for the sake of an historical record and for the benefit of any who may be profited thereby.”

The Elders’ Book of Cherishing: Coming Back to the Vision at the Beginning of the Lord’s Recovery
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99“I say again that shepherding is the all-inclusive care that includes two things: the side of cherishing and the side of nourishing. Cherishing is in His humanity; nourishing is in His divinity. Cherishing is just to warm up someone, to make them happy, to make them joyful…By then they would be ready for any message you want to give them. Don’t despise cherishing. I feel, actually, in the Lord’s move we are rather short of shepherding. This is why in many places the feeling is cold, the atmosphere is icy, the relationship is distant in many churches. It is not warm, it is not ardent, it is not hot, it is not burning. Dear saints, don’t try to pray and then the Spirit comes down and we will all be hot. Start to care and start to warm up. I don’t mean this in a natural way. We have to do this in the humanity of Christ, which is altogether in resurrection and not in the natural man. Nevertheless, Christ in resurrection is not cold.” Minoru (1998, Atlanta Conf.)
