The Horse and His Boy The book I read for my book report was a fiction book called The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis. This is the third book in the "Chronicles of Narnia" series and it was published in 1954. The story takes place in the make-believe land of Calormen and the also make-believe land of Narnia. It’s about a boy that runs away from his life of slavery and his adventure to come. I found this book to be adventurous‚ exciting‚ and suspesful (to an extent). It shows people how bravery

Love to His Mistress Throughout history the ideas of proper sexuality for men and women have changed very little. Courtship is important today as it was in the 1600 ’s.

Satan has set out to destroy that which God intended for our good‚ that is‚ our relationships‚ our diversity and our sexuality. Two Thessalonians 2:7 speak of the “mystery of lawlessness”. Lawlessness is the premise by which Satan has reigned

like Shylock loved his money more than his daughter‚ it was still a very cruel thing to do to any one. This is because after harsh words like these you can see why Shylock is so driven to want to kill Antonio. The continuos onslaught of comments towards Shylock‚ makes him a more sympathetic character.
