Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Discipline of God
Watchman Nee · 1997
62/100
👍 Worth It
Watchman Nee draws on Hebrews 12 to offer a brief, warm devotional on how God uses suffering and discipline to shape the believer. The content is biblically sound and pastorally gentle, but it reads more like a pamphlet than a book, and it lands best when read alongside Nee's broader series rather than on its own. English-language reception is thin, so confidence stays moderate.
