Discipleship is most commonly linked to the twelve disciples. However‚ may go beyond the twelve disciples according to how one may define this many-sided term. Discipleship is not for everyone and can have its demands. I believe discipleship is a way of life that one must be called to do.

These demands require you to live a life

By:Jasper Asian gangster films are portrayed as bad movies. Gangster films in general are always told to be a bad influence since all they are mostly about is killing and assassinating. In my opinion‚ they can be educational at times. People mostly think that gangster films teach kids the wrong way of life and doesn’t have any meaning in the movie but like the director of Godfather said “It’s not about the character‚ it’s the way of life.” This is true because most gangster movies are not only

For the solo novel I read The Gangster of Love by Jessica Hagedorn. I chose the book because I read Dogeaters for the group novel and I really liked Hagedorn’s style of storytelling also‚ it sounded interesting from the group presentation.
