    In 1996 another program was financed by the government, it was called American Reads Challenge. Its purpose is to help kids learn to read but help provide an environment where the entire family can better their skills in literacy if it is needed. This program definition was a child may learn to read, but if the adult cannot perform the same skills, then the cycle can continue. So in the best interest of the family would be to break that cycle and that is what the program agenda. I find it rewarding to see the government doing what it can to solve the adult literacy problem in our country. The problem still has shown no real progress I believe it can be traced to the fact we have programs but none has stood out as the standard to follow each program is base on funding which has it objective. Within these programs, the similar goal is that reading will result in a person economic growth. This should not be the only focus the change of the family culture the importance of the whole family dynamic when it comes to education.…

    Out of the ten arguments that were in Dr. Towns article I have chosen the argument about The Convicting, Convincing, and Converting Power of the Message. When we begin to look at how people come to Christ, they come to Jesus for a lot of different reasons. One of the quotes from the literature reason about the bible that I would like to include is 'The Bible has a transforming power to change the lives of individuals. We can take the Apostle Paul and look at how he was change on the road to Damascus. Paul conversion happen when he thought he was doing things in the name Christ but he was yet to be converted until he encounter Jesus on that road. It’s an interesting how Gods meets us where we are in our sin. Another quote that intrigues me was ' The Bible is unique in its call to repentance, in its convicting power to unsettle those who sin, and its power to convert and transform those who accept its message. Everyone encounter is different. When we were initially convicted yea it was emotional because we were kind of tired of the position that we were in. It was like a light bulb came on letting us know that we need God. So the transformation begins and we begin to look at ourselves as the man in the mirror that needs to change his ways, in the words of Michael Jackson. So the words that we read touch a place in our hearts to lets ourselves open up to get to know this man name…
