Outlive Your Life: Chapters 1&2 Review

Ashlyn DeBoer

Hello, my name is Ashlyn DeBoer and I’m am writing about connections in the book of acts as well as connections in the book “Outlive you life.”

Acts connections now- As it says in the book I see a connection with the verse Acts 1:8, “You will be my witness in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to all the ends of the Earth.” This is taking about one theme, witness. Not just being a witness for others but being a witness for God. I see myself being more of witness for God after reading the book of Act now than ever.

Acts connections I’d like to see more- I would like to make more connections in acts such as being more of a quote on quote listener/understander more less than being a follower. When I say this I mean I don’t want to just read the Bible just to read it but I want to be able to comprehend it. For instance the book of Acts. Some of the words and names that are used in the Bible that somtimes we don’t know that we skip over. Instead of just skipping over them I want to do more reasearch and get more of an understanding of those words or names.

Outlive you life connections- Some connections I see Outlive you life is putting others before myself. One character I can relate to is Edith who helps cancer patients. I see myself caring more for others whether that’s in public or with my own brother more than I used to.

Outlive Your Life connections I’d like to see more of- I would like to see myself doing more volentier work. In the book, on page 13 it says, “They turned one of Church classrooms into a factory of volunteer seamstresses.” This shows how much they care for not only the Church and spreading His word but creating a environment for others.
