THE HOLY WORD FOR MORNING REVIVAL
This week the church will suspend our review of the messages from the recent International Chinese-Speaking Conference and cover a special topic: "Praising." The purpose of this special review is to help us further digest the burden from the recent Southeast Blending Conference in Jacksonville, FL. Printed copies of this material will be available at each district's Lord's Day meeting. PDF versions of the files are available below, but please note these are not for distribution outside of the church in Atlanta -- they are for local use only.
We encourage the saints to use their enjoyment from this material to prepare a short, living prophecy for the meeting next Lord's Day. This prophecy can be composed by considering all of our daily notes, the "harvest" of our inspirations during the week, and preparing a main point with some sub-points to be spoken in the church meetings for the organic building up of the Body of Christ.
LIFE STUDY READING
The church will continue with our corporate reading challenge. This week, we will continue reading the Life-study of Ephesians, covering two messages per week. For this week, we will read Messages 9 and 10. For more information about the church's schedule and to join the Church in Atlanta Life Study Reading Community on WhatsApp, visit this page.

TRUTH PURSUIT
Yearly New Testament Reading
We encourage all the saints to read through the New Testament once a year.
Download Reading Schedule
This requires that we read one chapter in the New Testament each day. There are no readings on the Lord’s Days, and we can review what we read in the past six days. The Bible (Recovery Version) without footnotes is also available for free on text.recoveryversion.bible.
Life Study Reading
The Life-study of the Bible is a book-by-book exposition of the entire Bible from the perspective of God’s New Testament economy while ministering spiritual life supply. We encourage all the saints to develop a habit of reading the Life-studies for your spiritual nourishment and growth in Christ. To help the saints, we suggest reading two messages a week according to the following sequential reading: Matthew (72 messages), John (51), Romans (69), Galatians (46), Ephesians (97), Philippians (62), Colossians (65), and Revelation (68), totaling 530 messages.

New Releases
compiled by Ray Graver
We now have The History and Revelation of the Lord's Recovery (2-volume set) in the D4 book room. Copies are available at LSM's discounted price: $10 per set for the English, Chinese, or Korean version, and $18 for the Spanish version.
About History and Revelation of the Lord's Recovery:
"The Lord’s recovery among us is unique in church history. The Lord has brought us to a point where the age can be turned, and we need to know the history of His move among us. In a service training for all the churches in Asia held in Hong Kong and Taipei, Taiwan, from November 2 through 24, 1981, Brother Lee released a series of twenty-eight messages covering the history of the Lord’s recovery in a detailed way. In addition, these messages detail the many revelations that the Lord has given to us over the course of our history. These twenty-eight messages have never been published as a standalone publication in English. However, they have been published in The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1981, volume 2. All who are interested in knowing about the history of the Lord’s recovery among us and the lessons that we can learn from our history should read this book."
