The review on God Father Rather than concentrating on everything that is great about The Godfather‚ a much easier way for me to judge its quality is on what is bad about it. Almost every film has something that I don’t like about it‚ but I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change anything about The Godfather.

Act of God is a legal term[1] for events outside of human control‚ such as sudden floods or other natural disasters‚ for which no one can be held responsible. This does not protect those who put others in danger of acts of nature through negligence‚ such as an adult who instructs a group of children to stand under a tree to escape a lightning storm.[citation needed] The legal term‚ "Act of God"‚ does not necessarily imply that a God had a direct intervention which specifically caused a "natural"

2010 Dr. G. M. Manzano‚ Jr. INTIMACY WITH GOD The author hinted that people quit on their quiet time because their devotions are not devotional enough.

The author clearly spelled out the difference between devotion and self-examination
