Book of Jonah

I just finished reading How To Say Goodbye In Robot by Natalie Standiford. The setting of the story changes throughout the book. It is realistic fiction, one of my favorite genre. I would rate this book four out of five stars. One reason is the character has a strong development. Bea and Jonah did not have the friendship like other people have a friendship, where it's all based on group and parties and what everybody else thinks. Instead, their friendship comes from truth-bond conversations,…

was suppose to be conducted, who was required to conduct the sacrifice, when the sacrifice was to be conducted, and most importantly, the condition of the animal. In order words, the animal had to be perfect. A more suitable example is noted in the book of Leviticus where it states, “And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and…

What do we learn from this true story? Jonah was peacefully sleeping on a lower deck (Jonah 1:4-5). This forms another parallel to Christ’s life as Jesus also slept through a fierce storm that his disciples thought would sink their boat (Luke 8:22-25). Lessons: A. No one can outwit or manipulate God to one’s own human purposes. Jonah’s attempt to guarantee his own desired end for Nineveh by disobeying God resulted in the exact opposite outcome which Jonah anticipated. WHAT IS PLANNED FOR EVIL,…

The Goal, written by Eliyahu M. Goldrant and Jeff Fox, depicts real life experiences in a production facility through the perspectives of those in positions that vary from accountants to production plant managers to co-workers. The underlying messages and knowledge gained from this novel can be applied to multiple situations to yield a better outcome.

chapters were written by Ezekiel, a well-educated priest who was taken to Babylon to work as a slave for the royalty due to his superior talents and education. While in slavery, the priest becomes a prophet through spiritual experiences early in the book. The people have lost everything, which according to the Deuteronomic viewpoint was because of their sinful unfaithfulness to Yahweh. What is the message of chapters 36 and 37? What does the vision of chapter 37 mean for those who first heard…

and have time to go back and fix them. “They found that small screen hand-held devices facilitated an improvement in reading speed and comprehension in many of the students.” (Choski) Some may say that e-readers don’t provide the same feeling as a book and that’s why some students don’t get the same retention of it, but in this case, it helps a lot of students that suffer from Dyslexia. The authors of this study speculate that, “the shorter lines and less crowded text small e-readers helps…

Authoritarian Power: the leader giving out orders. 4. Laissez-faire Leadership: the leader gives up and everyone splits. 5. Coercive Power: threatening someone to get something done. I recommend this movie because there are hilarious actors such as Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, and Emma Stone. If you’re into comedy movies with crude humor, then you’ll love…

arguments that we are all immersed in everyday. These topics along with many others are here to persuade you into their side of the argument. The topic of banning books may have fallen to the wayside in recent years but the topic still sits uneasy for far to many Americans. Is censorship right or is it a direct violation of our…

Spiderman not only exists in imagination, cartoons, or movies but also appears in reality. Some people work above passengers, out of buildings, and over one thousand feet in the air. Keeping the buildings clean and tidy is part of their job. What is more, their contributions embellish the look of the city and beautify everyone's life. They are called "Spiderman" whose jobs are heavy, risky and difficult. Their life might be not as vivid and adventurous as other typical characters in all the…

I know its just the second weekend for new movies in 2018, but my guess is that we may be hard pressed to find a film more charming and endearing this year than Paddington 2. Days after seeing the film, I am still smiling, chuckling a bit even, and hoping the movie makes all the money it can. The original Paddington grossed nearly $270 million worldwide and earned two BAFTA nominations for Best British Film and Adapted Screenplay and a mutual consensus formed between critic, audience, and…
