Chapter Eight Hendricks Summary

There are lots of things that contribute into a good reading experience. A few of them being, you have to want to read the book. You also have to pick a good time where you can focus on the book. Also, you need to be able to evaluate every couple of pages to make sure that your understanding what's happening in the story. In the book I read there's this part where he falls in love with the common

On a personal note, I practice reading the Bible through the process of observation. For instance, I practice learning what to look for in the text; interpreting the meaning; I prayerfully seek God and through the power of the Holy Spirit I can apply what I read. Nevertheless, I feel Ferrin’s process of inductive Bible study might prove more productive and edifying both personally and in a group.

He would continually say in his diary that he felt the Lord. Then the next day he said that he did not feel the presence of the Lord. Overall he would say that he longed to grow closer and closer to the Lord.

One of the first things that this author would do is to teach students how to make connections while reading. When students make personal connections with what they are reading by using their prior knowledge, it helps them to retain information. There are three main types of connections we make while reading text; we can make connections to what we are reading and our own experiences in life, we can make connections from one book to another (like reading a Nancy Drew book and reading a Trixie Belden book), and we can make connections to what we are reading and things that are going on in the world around us. By helping Jose learn to make connections while he reads, Jose will be able to more readily remember what he has read and make sense of it (Comprehension Strategies, n.d.).

Another way in which Morrison infuses a biblical connection into her works is through the naming of the children in the Dead family. When describing the names of the children she writes, "He had cooperated... with the blind selection of names from the Bible for every child other than the first born male. And abided by whatever the finger pointed to..." This is the reason for the naming of his other two children (Milkman, or Macon, being the first born male), Magdalene from Mary Magdalene, and First Corinthians, from "The Book of Corinthians."

Generally, I find the theology behind the numerous aspects of the Bible not only, helpful, but also fascinating. Learning about the four different views about God’s role in the inspiration of the Bible makes me more aware of the theology behind certain doctrines and principles I may not have been aware of. This unit has forced me to tear down my assumptions about the Bible and go into the Bible with a new perspective of innocence. Through having an open-mind I am able to have important conversations with people, about the Bible, from all Christian backgrounds. Additionally, learning about the multitudes of translations of the Bible, and how they fall into three distinct categories, has helped me understand there are different purposes and intended audiences for each translation of the Bible. Before, I struggled with the fact that there were so many English translations of the Bible, but now I understand each one

Then I read the chapter again, but this time I have made picture in my mind of the pages and I try to anticipate the terms and the concepts and my own examples for each concept before I read them. If I miss any, I jot them down again. Sometimes, I read the book backwards, sub-heading to sub-heading until I can see pretty much the whole

In order to master this skill I need to remember to use the SQ3R study technique. SQ3R stands for survey, question, read, recite and review. By surveying before I read it gives me an idea of what I am going to be reading about which will prepare my mind for what it is about take in. Asking questions and then answering them as I read will help information stick in my mind. When I read something, I need to remember not to get frustrated because I’m obviously not going to remember everything the first time. It’s okay to have to read things more than once. Also if I recite and review things over and over it will help me retain information as well. The more I use the SQ3R study technique the more comfortable I will become in reading. By doing this routinely it should help me improve my study skills and my academic success.

Bible Memory: It is important to keep God’s word close to your heart, you grow closer to Christ and become armed with a means to protect yourself from the devil’s schemes

Morrison’s purpose in the novel is to show =Milkman as a dynamic character, and to portray the growth of a boy into a man. One of the most

Theissen is very knowledgeable in his Bible history and he displays it well throughout the book. He speaks about many episodes in Jesus’ life that we know to be true based on the Bible, and he interweaves them with his own fictitious character’s storyline. This really gives the reader a sense of what someone might have seen, heard and thought about Jesus during that timeframe, and it gives the reader a better chance to relate emotions with biblical history. Although the book is fictitious in nature, Theissen does a great job at elaborating how it might have been back in time for someone to become a new follower of Christ. He highlighted the many questions they may have faced not only on a personal basis, but on a public one as well.

As I read I try to connect with the text as much as I can because I find that this makes it easier for me to remember what the text talked about later. As I read the article I began connecting with not being able to read a full book in a very long time. I used to be

Application of the Word of God- Living right by adhering to the word of God. Therefore within our church persons participate in personal bible study called a “quiet time” we read the bible along with other literature to aid our understanding, we meditate, take notes on what we can apply to our lives for that day base on what is read.

Ignatius Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises promotes our capacity, through our prayers, to hear Christ’s voice and to use our senses to feel and experience His presence. Smith says, “Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola is very focus on Jesus – or, more specifically, on the Jesus story: his birth, life, death and resurrection. In prayer and through the guidance of the Exercises, we are drawn into the Jesus story so that our lives
