n chapter 3 of Jesus Behaving Badly, Mark Strauss addresses the issue of Jesus being someone who cures diseases and someone who is angry or loving. Reading this chapter I feel that Jesus is the loving type because he doesn’t reject anyone from knowing him. He wants people to know him and can share the gospel to other people so that when judgement day comes they will go to heaven rather than hell. One verse that stood out to me was Mark 1:33-34, “The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus…

and finally this last label, ‘unwind’.” Which means that kids who act poorly or get labeled as bad kids, are the teens targeted to be unwound. Also, there was a such thing as tithing, the tithes are given up to be unwound as a gesture to god. In Unwind, Shusterman has Lev’s parents told him “He was a true tithe… and that made him all the more special.” on page 32. Taken as being unwound is a good thing for him and that he is being a great person for having his life taken from…

convince a lot of the kids at the graveyard to team up with him and go against the Admiral. Lev’s stereotype is that he is a perfect kid. This stereotype did fit Lev greatly in the beginning of the book, but he changed. In the beginning he was the tithe whose purpose in life was to be unwound and he believed this was true. He changed by the ending of the book though. When Connor kidnapped him he found out that maybe being unwound was not his purpose. Later in the book you find out that Lev…

Deuteronomy 28:7-9 declares, “LORD will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD…
