One fellow book reviewer, sally12, states that “The feelings and actions of Macbeth is that in him, there is little to admire which is extreme and does not reflect the whole truth.

Consequently, if failure is deemed to be feared to accomplish…

As a result, man is in a fallen state, condemned to the reign of death and to a separation from God, where only God’s intervention through the Son can reunite us with God. To understand the fallen condition of man, it is first necessary to understand the importance of the Trinity and…

He explains how we still have a chance unlike the bigger nations such as Britain. In paragraph two I will speak of how the United states is a river and then in paragraph 3 I will discuss how he states we can avoid becoming a”sad tale of departed glory”. In paragraph one Mr.Douglass states a very interesting but yet compelling analogy.
