The chapters were fifty percent shorter as well‚ which helped the reading feel less drawn out and lengthy. The author did a better job providing examples from her life that related to the subject than Robinson did‚ although they were also rather lengthy.

I really enjoy Lauber’s analogy of elementary school siblings when discussing the responsibility of believers giving correction. This analogy really spoke to me because it reminded me of early years filled with minimal responsibility‚ a simplistic outlook on life and a excited viewpoint of faith. I can remember running around in children’s church viewing God as the coolest dads ever‚ and being a christian as an exciting venture; I was lucky to take part in. However‚ as time went on questions‚ pressure

The Mayan‚ Aztec‚ and Incan people were very advanced considering they were secluded from the rest of the world. Each civilization had many great achievements.

The skill needed to work with stones with that much precision back then was amazing. The Mayans developed a calendar
