Hello, I'm unable to make these files work on my e-sword, not sure if I'm not installing correctly.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

You will need to respond to instruct the security app to allow the download to proceed and to give it permission to "keep" the file on your PC. Similarly, while running the file which is not a Microsoft-verified app, you may again receive security queries, as the file has no publisher details to identify the file as being from a registered origin, with a valid recently registered address name: BibleSupport.com
 

the *.top.exe is a self-installing wizard, to install Nee, Watchman - The Normal Christian Life.top version 0 on your computer. Read each page of the Wizard carefully, from top to bottom. Follow instructions and prompts.
 

What version of e-Sword are you using? If you are using e-Sword version 8 or earlier the files would probably be loaded to C:\Program File\e-Sword. If you are running e-Sword for Windows version 11 and later, then use the same destination folder as you have loaded on e-Sword on "Option" > "Resource Settings" > in the window boxes shown as "User Files Location".

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
The author of these studies, Mr. Watchman Nee (Nee To-sheng) of Foochow, a true bondservant of Jesus Christ, placed a great many of us in his debt when, on a visit to Europe in 1938 and 1939, he set forth so lucidly in his ministry to many groups of young workers and others the foundation principles of the Christian life and walk.
Several of the addresses forming the material from which this book has been compiled have already been published independently and have been the means of blessing to many. Others, covering similar but wider ground, have existed for long in manuscript or note form. It is with the conviction that their message merits a wider circulation at the present time that I have undertaken the editing of the available material to form this larger book.
Being deprived of personal contact or communication with the author, I have myself to take full responsibility for the work of editing. This has involved the bringing together of matter from a number of  sources to form a logical sequence within the framework provided by two of the original series of studies. Due to the wide variety of this material, including verbatim records of spoken English addresses, private notes of Bible readings and personal conversations, and a few translations from the Chinese, liberties, perforce, have had to be taken with the literary arrangement—not, of course, with the doctrine—making the hand of the editor more evident that I would have wished. But the privilege of close personal contact with Mr. Nee during 1938, and the help and criticism of others who enjoyed his ministry or who have worked with him, and who knew him better than I, have combined, in the few places where interpretation was necessary, to make faithfulness to his thought the more certain.
Work on this book has been a searching experience. It goes out now with the prayer that its strong emphasis upon the greatness of Christ and upon the finality and sufficiency of His work may be used of God to bring His children to a place of greater spiritual effectiveness and thus of increasing value to Him.

PREFACE TO THE BRITISH EDITION
A new edition has made possible further revision and occasional slight expansion of the text with the aid of fresh source material. An index is now provided. The reader is again reminded that the author’s message in this collected form had its origin as spoken ministry. It is therefore not wholly systematic. On none of the subjects dealt with is it to be regarded as exhaustive. It should be approached prayerfully—not as a treatise, but as a living message to the heart.

If you have a recent version of e-Sword for Windows, [e-Sword version 12 or 13] and would like to download this *.top file and then read it with your TOPIC EDITOR, please put the file into your "User Files Location" folder.
Read the comments at the following Forum entry, and view the two videos supplied by APsit190. He puts all his e-Sword files in the same folder, so his .topx does not have to go elsewhere to another folder, to find associated pictures, when these were sometimes made for the original .top module.

After you have processed the downloaded *.top.exe wizard, then this is the method of how to view and edit this .top file.
Open e-Sword for Windows. Open the Editor Maximized (Ctrl+F5). Tap your pointer on the open page. Press the "Ctrl" key, and hold that down while you tap the mouse right-click button, or the similar part of the touchpad. Select the "Open" option. Now move the pointer to the options at the bottom of e-Sword screen, lower right, and use the option to page down to get the other option, to see, not the "Topic Note Files (*.topx)", but the "Old Topic Note Files (*.top)". Look for the file by Nee.

Tap it, it will open. The existing file name will be modified, behind the scenes, to "Nee, Watchman - The Normal Christian Life.top.old" and you will view the file with your current topx editor.

Look in the chapter topic entries, and browse down the entries, right to the bottom, and use the icon "Edit Topic Title", to rename the new added entry which has the chapter topic title "New Topic Note". Use the icon for "Edit Topic Title". Give that topic chapter a new name, for example, a space then on the same line, " Nee Watchman - The Normal Christian Life". Tap  the "OK" button. Because the chapter topic names will be sorted alpha-numerically, now tap the "Save Topic Notes" icon. The file will be saved as
Nee, Watchman - The Normal Christian Life.topx

Use the "X" icon at the extreme top right corner to close and exit from e-Sword. Re-start e-Sword. All the topic chapter titles will have been re-sorted alpha-numerically, so by starting an entry with a space will put your new chapter heading right at the top. Now when you open the .topx file, your topic will now be able to be accessed, and the top page will have an appropriate and suitable topic chapter name.

In my top page, for example, I put:

Now you have learned how to work with the TOPIC NOTES EDITOR,
you also know how to process .top files,
and you know how to sort the chapter Topics inside a .topx file, by renaming the chapter title, saving the file, exiting, and re-opening the file.
