Hello my name is Ashlyn DeBoer and today I am writing a review for chapter 14 in the book, “Outlive Your Life.”
What is the theme of this chapter?
I think the theme for chapter 14 is Prayer
What specific evidence do you have for this?
On page 145 it says, “Her daughter was dying, and her prayer was urgent.” I think this shows us how important prayer can be in certain situations. And how praying for others might just seem like a normal let’s just pray to get it over with but what they don’t realize is that God hears all our prayer and they might not make a difference in our life but it does in there’s.
What are the author’s main points? How do they relate to the theme?
I think the author writes a lot of bad situations throughout chapter 14 and she’s trying to get us to figure out how important prayer is and how much of an impact it can make. This easily relates to the theme because of prayer.
Are there any ideas that are implied? How and why?
The main idea as I have mentioned multiple times above is prayer and this is Implied multiple times just like on page 150 “My brother found them on a junkyard.” We need to pray for these people because their situation could of course be different but would if they are poor then they deserve to be prayed for. I could name 3 people right off the bat who go through this situation and ever since our family prayed for them they got a job and isn’t making a living.
What do you think the author’s goal was, and did he achieve it?
I think the authors goal was to teachers ways to pray for others and build them up. I learned so much by just reading this one chapter. Yes I think the author achieved his goal.
