Please help improving and expanding this article. Also please review the tone of this article (I have tried to be as much neutral as I could). This article is quite small and if someone could write the preface section that would be very useful. Also, I encourage you to write/contribute a brief synopsis for the chapters of this book. Thanks.

Not the place for a book report

edit

Please check the other Christian book studies on Wikipedia for examples of what they are looking for: short summary, impact and reaction to the book, etc. It is not the place for book reports.

This article is being recommended for speedy deletion for the following reasons: • Wikipedia articles must not be vehicles for advertisement--the article does not satisfy notariety and is just an advertisement for Witness Lee books. • No original research-- there have been no independent sources reviewing this book and therefore the only comments made or to be made fall under original research by reading the book. • Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information--this and other articles like it by the writer are being proposed because he (HopeChrist) likes them and wants to summarize the material, which may also violate the copyright of LSM.

The Normal Christian Life is very notable. Watchman Nee was recognized and honoured by the United States Congress this month. Other than his life, his primary work for which he was recognized is this book, which has sold over a million copies. I have added appropriate references. I have also removed the request for speedy deletion. Chitu (talk) 13:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Totally notable Work to be on the Wikipedia

edit

There has been discussions and concerns regarding the book issues on Wiki in the past. This is very notable and valid work. What this articles need is more expansion rather than a "deletion suggestion" from a user whose sole work on the Wikipedia is to insert POVs into the articles related to Nee, Lee and local churches. Thanks wiki community. HopeChrist (talk) 21:57, 27 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
