Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-30 00:00:00 Chris Pidgeon Great book jam-packed with practical wisdom. Definitely worth the read if you care about this kinda thing, as Nee touches on some important character traits that I think we tend to underemphasize in one way or another. The book is organized where each chapter focuses on one characteristic, and each chapter is totally self-contained. So you could pick it up and read whatever interests you. The chapters are: 1. A good listener 2. A lover of men 3. Having a mind to suffer 4. Buffeting the body and making it a slave 5. Diligent 6. Restrained 7. Stable 8. Not subjective 9. Towards money I got the most out of 1, 5, 7, and 9. So if you come across this book and just wanna dip your toes, maybe read one of those!! 3 stars because this book was actually transcripts of spoken sermons and it wasn't exactly readable. I tried to take it slow because it did not lend itself to reading big chunks. It was dense, yet repetitive, and because writing offers you less opportunity to add emphases and nuance as opposed to speaking, I think I missed the point Nee was trying to make sometimes. So as much as this book taught me, I wouldn't say it was enjoyable to read per se.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-02 00:00:00 Yukon Dave Watchman Nee wrote with a spiritual simplicity that causes the reader to easily Embrace his advice. This particular work, as the title implies, offers a plethora of biblical critiques on a workman's character. Issues such as suffering, self-centeredness, marriage vs. celibacy, love of money, listening skills, etc. are addressed in compact and highly comprehensible ways. It is a pleasure to glean from the reflections of such a devout servant ofGod.
