According to scripture, we need a reminder. “You have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord.” Hebrews 12:5
This book celebrates God’s goodness to chasten us. Our Father is not negligent nor a strict disciplinarian. He’s the perfect Father!
This book will:
- Help you make sense of inexplicable trails.
- Strengthen your resolve to endure in faith to the end.
- Increase your confidence in God’s supernatural intervention.
- Help you train your children more effectively.
- Unlock a great secret: Chastening can qualify us for a higher entrustment in the kingdom.
