Ashlyn DeBoer
Hello, my name is Ashlyn DeBoer and today I am doing a review as a book critic for chapter 6 in this book we are reading called “Outlive Your Life.”
What is the theme of this chapter?
I think the theme for chapter 6 is Spreading the Holy Gospel
What specific evidence do you have for this?
I got the idea that theme Is rejoicing because of page 55, “The believed met together in the temple every day, they ate together in there homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts.” Acts 2:46. “Every day in the temple they continued teaching the people and telling the good news- that Jesus is Christ.” I think we should take from this that not only did they spread the news then but the want us to spread Gods new now.
What are the author’s main points? How do they relate to the theme?
I think the authors main point is to show us ways to “open our doors, and opening our hearts” to try something new and to spread the holy gospel just as families did in the temple like I talked about above. This relates to the theme because Throughout this chapter it talks about spreading spreading spreading so that’s what I think the authors main point Is.
Are there any ideas that are implied? How and why?
I think the main idea that is implied is on page 56. “Do you have front door? A table? Chairs? Bread and meat for sandwiches? Congratulations! You just qualified to serve in the most ancient of ministries: Hospitality.” We have so much that we don’t even realize so what the authors pointing our is why don’t we try to help others have this great life that we have.
What do you think the author’s goal was, and did he achieve it?
I think the goal was to encourage others to do things that we or at least I might never have the guts to do. I think one quote that kind of stook with me was on page 57 “Address the needs of your guess. First century hospitality included foot washing. Modern day hospitality includes the sharing of food and drink. No television, no music, but the chance for them to share.” I think that the authors story was leading up to this quote. To tell others different ways to allow them to share and possibly you to invite Christ into there lives.
