True Face

A new book that I have started reading is called Truefaced. This book is written by a group of writers including Bill Thrall, Bruce McNicol, and John Lynch. This book is about examining your life as a Christian, and splits up believers into two different categories (or rooms). These are the Room of Good Intentions and the Room of Grace. The people in these rooms both have different mindsets and goals for what they should do in their lives. This book is very interesting, and has lots of good information to read about!

From reading Romeo and Juliet in class, I am enjoying so far reading the dialogue between characters, and the foreshadowing taking place in the play. I am so far concerned with Romeo's dream, and how he thought that going to the Capulet's party would end up in someone dying before they should. I am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the events in the play will finish, and what will happen now that Romeo and Juliet know that they are from the opposite families.

Connection

A connection that I can make from Peace Child to myself would be that I am going on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic in a few months. Even though it's not the same as moving to a foreign country, with a completely new language, and with people who want to kill you, it's important to still have the same mindset as the missionaries to went to these tribes in New Guinea. Similar to Don Richardson (author), when our group goes on the missions trip we need to be ready to serve the people there, and trust God for what will happen. In the next section of Peace Child, Don Richardson sacrifices everything to go talk to one of the tribes and start to build a "house" for his family. Luckily, he trusts God and he is able to make some new friends who help him to build his "house" and prepare to start living among these tribes.
