Everyone, including unbelievers, has his own mask which he makes and wears. This mask is used to cover up what is inside, sin. Even our appearances are used as masks. I believe this applies to not only believers. Another key theme in this book is grace in several of its different aspects. In April of 2016, I began working in the deli of a grocery store.

attitude, reveal her racist and classist view of religion. Her repetitive and artificial praise of God’s goodness to her illustrate the extremity self-deception, ignorance and unfathomably high amount of pride. In her grotesque understanding of Gods graces, she believes anyone born black, white trash or ugly have been cursed by God- these people are not worthy to live fulfilling blessed lives as they are not worthy of God’s love. If these people were loved by God as she is, they would not have…
