Five People You Meet In Heaven

The five people you meet in heaven is to say at least, an interesting book since the beginning where it ends since most books start at the beginning. What makes this different this one starts at the end, where we find a man named Eddie who dies while trying to save a girl from a amusement park ride falling. Then he goes to heaven and finds out that heaven is a place where you meet people who made a difference on your life, good or bad. So he meets his five people there, also the book gives an interesting account of his life from Eddie childhood days up too his war days to the final hour of his death. The reason for the whole cause of Eddie death is due to a screw up by the amusement car rider dropping a key in the hole causing the cable to snap, than a girl Amy had got wedged under the ride and then she dangled for her life so she falls and Eddie using all the strength left in his body lunges to catch her and then nothing. So what happened just wait till we go to heaven.

    It shows how death changed the characters Thomas and Andy and how their perspective of life changed drastically for them. If nobody died in these stories there would basically be no story at all, you would be left with the sad remains with no suspense or any emotion at all. These deaths's clearly have changed their thoughts on life differently they still have very similar outlooks on the deaths. So in the end, Thomas and Andy share the common theme of death because they both are shocked by death, someone had committed suicide and lastly they both witness a death or…

    In the New Testament, the church can be referred to as the “local” church or the “universal” church. The local church is a place where assemblies of believers come together at a particular location and time. The universal church refers to the body of Christ. Many churches believe that they are healthy because they have a certain number of people on their membership roll. Healthy churches measure their spirituality according to God’s Word. This paper seeks to convey that healthy churches are measured in spiritual terms versus numerical terms; follow biblical instead of cultural patterns of ministry; are based on theological instead of sociological foundations; focus on ministry not a marketing model; and adopt scriptural not secular models of leadership. This will be done by examining Kenneth Gangel’s discussion on the different marks that can be used to gauge a healthy church in his article “The Marks of a Healthy Church.”…

    In today’s society we have many different religions that argue constantly over the view of salvation and how one receives eternal life. Many even believe that there is only one way to heaven or that Christianity is the only way. Many beliefs are obvious, and many believe that all paths of religion lead to heaven, and never would a loving God send anyone to hell. In his book, “Is Jesus the only Savior,” Ronald H. Nash makes a great argument about the inclusivists. Inclusivism is the view that people can actually receive God's gift of salvation based on Jesus Christ's atoning work, however, the sinner need not believe the gospel in order to actually receive this salvation. Inclusivism agree that God’s mercy is so complete that it can and does embrace many. This is in contrast to exclusivism, which believes, that a sinner can only be saved by a conscious understanding and faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Nash discussed in detail in chapters 1-6 his argument against pluralism. Nash now begins chapter seven with an introduction of the inclusivists stand point. He quotes many inclusivists, giving them the benefit of the doubt. However, he yet proves all their theories wrong. Nash makes every attempt of the inclusivist use of scripture look weak and unsupported. He sees their position as middle ground between exclusivism and pluralism where God’s salvation is completely available by all grounded on the…

    The main character is a man beaten down by his circumstances. His last hope was to win the Bingo Game (247). He is in a situation where no matter what he does he is likely to fail, more so because he is black and thus, people have a sort of hate for him after only seeing him (247-248). I understand that he is facing a lot of injustices and that Laura’s situation makes him feel like less of a man. This is because he is unable to help her, to protect her. She is near death and he doesn’t have the money to take her to a doctor (246). Thus, when he finally has the button in his hangs, he has an episode, hallucinates and momentarily goes crazy (249). I understand that there were a lot of injustices in those times and that, more so because he was black, he couldn’t do anything about them. This, in a way, makes sense when you read that the policemen kept dragging him away even after he won, but it is horribly unfair either…

    So, at first you notice the man and the boy. There is a cup of spilled milk on the table, so maybe the man is frustrated because the boy made a mess. The man may have an anger problem from being an abused child himself and he snapped at the boy because he accidentally made a mess.

Three people who are dressed the same who seem a little bit older than the last and are all wearing the same clothes. You then realize that it is the boy growing up and going through life ending in the same situation as the man.…

    This book looks at the ever present controversial topic of women in ministry. Since the 1990’s and what has been called the “third wave of feminism,”1 men and women have been advocating gender equality in society.2 The theological implications of this have resulted with the question of whether or not limits should be placed on the leadership roles of women in the church. There are two primary views concerning this topic. First, there is the complementarian or traditionalist view which limits the role of women in leadership positions in the church. Second, there is the egalitarian view, characterized by a belief in the equality of all people, which believes that no limits should be placed on the role of women in leadership in the church. The title of this book is a misnomer; the main issue is not women in ministry, but women in leadership positions in the church hierarchy. There does not appear to be a middle ground in this on-going controversial subject, as shown by the four essays and the critical responses to them in this book.…

    Throughout this journal, one can question why the author wrote the book from the perspective of death and what will happen to Max Vandenburg. Initially, there is the question of why the narrator of the novel is the entity of death. One answer to this question is that writing the book through death’s perspective is both creative and different. Having death speaking personally to you on the first page is a unique draw-in. There are no other books popularly known that can claim to have such a narrator, which makes it stand out from its competition on the bookshelves. As the New York Times states in a review for the book, “brilliant… It’s the kind of book that can be life-changing” (Zusak). This quote clearly shows that the author’s decision in having death be…

    Today, the media’s portrayal of family life is mainly accurate, even though some portrayals may depict otherwise. Many movies show how families interact and give back to their communities. For example, in the move The Blind Side, the Tuohy family offers up their home to a homeless boy, Michael Oher. This one good deed reflects family life accurately as it shows how families do charity work. Although many families do not give back to their community in such an extreme way, it is promising to see that the media portrays this aspect of family life. Another example where family life is depicted realistically is in Disney’s…
