Sinning By John Tone
This poem is a full out confession from a person who has sinned and wants to repent to God, nonetheless there are some obstacles in the way. Even though the speaker confesses his sins, he assures God he “has more”; God will never be done forgiving his sins, because sinning is a constant chain for the speaker. That is why there will always be more. The lines in the poem expose the speaker’s doubts in being forgiven for his wrongdoings. Not only has he sinned, he has many different types of sins: his old sins, new sins, what he has done to lead others to sin. The speaker even worries about the sins he has committed for many years but felt ashamed over for less time. In the end, the speaker fears God will not accept him, however he realizes how

    Kelley Armstrong's The Summoning

    For my book review I chose to read Kelley Armstrong's The Summoning. In my opinion, the book itself has an unresolved ending and is difficult to follow. As a whole trilogy, on the other hand, it's my favorite series. The purpose of this book review is to evaluate the book and how it fit together.…

    The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman

    This chapter which introduced me to Lia’s family was interesting. I was shocked to read that in her mother’s country of Laos, Lia would have been born by her mother squatting on the floor! They also used special created remedies to solve health issues without relying on hospitals or clinics. It was also interesting to read how important the Hmong people believed in sprits and how their life decisions where decided around the sprit actions. For example, they believed that male sprit’s held up their house roof, if the male’s placenta was buried near the central pillar of the house. Lia was even blessed by the elders because her parents believed that it was a way of protecting her from ever getting sick. If anything, reading this chapter quickly gave me a quick preview of the clash that Lia’s cultural beliefs will have with the American doctors when she gets sick in the future chapters. However, I’m hoping that this book will pick up a little faster and have less history moving forward (being honest lol)…

    The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down By Anne Fadiman

    Picture being displaced in a country you know little about except for the fact that it’s safer than yours. You and your three children have successfully escaped persecution and are subsisting off of government aid. However, you don’t understand the Native language and you differ tremendously when it comes to cultural beliefs. You do know that when anyone is ill, it is because their soul is out of balance with their body, but the Natives in this country constantly resort to temples for intimate examinations that you consider taboo. When the Natives do receive medicine though, they typically get worse, but the doctor just prescribes more medicine. Then one day, one of your beloved children attends a mandatory examination and is diagnosed with cancer.…

    Death Be Not Proud by John Gunther

    When Johnny was six, he stated that God was "what's good in me," and his drive to do good stays with him through his short life. What makes this inherent goodness more exceptional is his abundance of other supreme qualities. He is exceptionally intelligent, devoting himself to the sciences with both his mind and heart; his wit is pointed yet gentle; and he is mature beyond his years. He combines the best of childhood and adulthood—a child's endless curiosity about the world and an adult's maturity in understanding what to do with that curiosity. But two other qualities shine through in Johnny, and they often connect: his selflessness and his courage.…

This book is a monograph on evangelism and delves into ways a person is able to evangelise without a step-by-step process.

This style comes from the Jewish culture and how they speak to each other.…
