Who Am I?
Jerry Bridges 96 pages
I Don’t Remember the Date I Finished This Book 1. Who Am I? ( Identity In Christ) 2. Jerry Bridges 3. Jerry Bridges was born on December 4, 1929 in Tyler Texas. He is also an eager Christian author, speaker and staff member of The Navigators. Mr. Bridges also studied at the University of Oklahoma. 4. The Publisher is by the Cruciform Press 5. Published in 2012 Adelphi, Maryland 6. My personal preference Who Am I’s tone read off as informative because of certain chapters, key points and facts. 7. The main idea in this book is to get the reader to know or have some idea as to what their purpose is while living on this earth and being comfortable with who you are in Christ. 8. Three points that stood out to me * The second chapter points out that I should know that I am in Christ but also human. As a human I am a sinner but God is forgiving and wants me to repent and enjoy my life here on this earth while living it to bring him glory. * The sixth chapter headlines that I am A Saint in this chapter Mr. Bridges states that a saint is one of the most widely misunderstood words in our Christian vocabulary. Not only is just the word saint misunderstood in the Christian vocabulary it’s also misunderstood in the secular world we live in today. Lastly the only way to understand that you are a saint in Christ is to express love and gratitude for what God has done for us on the cross. * On page 61 is said to examine yourself and Mr. Bridges gives about 6 questions to ask yourself. He also said while examining yourself you should keep in mind of friends, relatives and have they considered themselves as Christians. 9. This book definitely held my interest for three reasons I love how Jerry Bridges is a simple writer, the book did a question I never thought of but was open to read what he had to say. Jerry Bridges simplicity can help those readers that have hard

    Have you ever heard about the book Someone Like You? Someone Like You written by Sarah Dessen is a Young Adult Fiction Novel. The main characters are two friends Halley and Scarlett who both work at Milton’s Market in a small town near the Grand Canyon. One day there was motorcycle accident with Scarlett's boyfriend and he passes away. Soon after Scarlett finds out that her life will change forever. After the funeral Halley and Scarlett have to go back to school the next day. It was the first day of school and Halley’s schedule is messed up. In my opinion this book would be a three star because it is a little unorganized. It goes from part to part that makes it confusing.…

    These reading were very good and shows that being a Christian is more than just a title we wear above our heads, but rather a title as well as responsibility we are to be obedient to. Thinking about this reminded me of our mission trip to the DR where I wrote a life statement, “To live a life showing a genuine love for others as Christ loved me. To live an authentic day to day life demonstrating an authentic representation of who I am in Christ, because He has given me everything I need and have. To be a light to others to show something is different because I strive to live an authentic, genuine life for Christ.” We’re called to live different, love others, be countercultural, expect suffering, be tolerant, give, and have endurance. The mark of a true believer is love, we are called to love one another as Christ has loved us, if we do not love we are nothing.…

    The character, Helene Shaw, developed exceedingly throughout the duration of the short story from being a shy girl who hides behind her phone company job to falling in love with an even more bashful individual. In the beginning of the story Helene is a person who is highly devoted to her demanding job, jumping from place to place 8 weeks at a time to instruct fellow phone company workers how to operate an automatic billing machine. As well as being devoted, she comes across as being dull based on the interaction she shared with the narrator of the story to such a degree that “she seemed kind of numb, almost like a machine herself” (16). Although the narrator hasn’t been named, all that is revealed is that he is a salesman who is tasked with the job of directing the local theater production A Streetcar Named Desire. Because of the narrator’s curiosity in Helene, he invites her to play a role in the local play as Stella the wife of the main character Marlon Brando. As the plot thickens Stella is given the opportunity to meet the person playing Marlon Brando, Harry Nash, after failing to show enough emotion. After the duo performed to the narrator, Stella breaks out of her shell to develop a crush on Harry who happens to be an even more “numb” and shy person. Towards the end of the narrative it is the finale of the three-night performances so Helene makes her move by asking Harry to recite a couple of lines from Romeo and Juliet: “For stony limits cannot hold love out… And what love can do, what dares love attempt…” (28). This leads Harry to express a boldness and braveness and thus so, the two get married. To end the story in an irony, as the narrator asks Helene and Harry to act in the next play, Helene recites the line that Harry said but with a smile saying, “who are we this time?” (29).…

    I enjoyed taking these tests because it gave me an idea of what my personality is like and what my weakness and strengths are. I feel these results accurately described me because I have taken previous tests like these in high school and got about the same results. It is good to see that some areas have improved, while others, like my anxiety levels, have increased. I now know more about my personality and what other people see when they talk to me. I am a very depressed person, so I feel like everyone thinks I’m stupid or annoying or just weird. My results showed me that I do have great skills in dealing with rejection, that I am practical and down to earth, and that I have an average score in social situations. It is also good to know that I am mostly agreeable. I think these tests are reliable because a lot of times people won’t tell you what they really think of you and you are kind of just left guessing. These tests ask relatable and practical questions with easy answers that are simplely just agree or disagree. My favorite test was the anxiety test, because I have been diagnosed with anxiety. I worry about almost everything that can go wrong and usually don’t look at the positive things going on in my life. It’s good to know my level of anxiety, because I never knew it was actually that high. These tests have really shown me my true personality and it feels great to know about them, even the ones that are bad and low scores.…
