In my personal opinion, Pat Robertson’s book Courting Disaster is a very informative book. The book seems to be well researched and written with a vast amount of understanding from a Christian viewpoint. From my observation, I do tend to believe that even though he has done phenomenal research on the topic his ideas are still very one-sided and opinionated. Pat Robertson’s opinions and religious education, paired with his law background gives us an interesting take on the American judicial problems. Having said this, I would have much preferred a bit more open-mindedness in his arguments and less close-minded writing.

Farmers are described through their actions like how they’re caring enough to help out a neighbor in time or trouble even when they have work needing to be done. In the advertisement, they showed the farmers caring attitude by stating “God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place.”
In order to emphasize God’s contempt for the audience, Jonathan Edwards utilizes inflammatory diction and comparisons of God’s anger to a bow and arrow and “black clouds” to instill fear in the audience so that they will accept God as their savior, provoking a religious revival. Throughout the sermon, Edwards utilizes “fiery” phrases such as “furnace of wrath”, “wrath…burns like fire”, and “glowing flames of the wrath of God” in order to establish a connection between God’s fury and a burning fire, reaffirming the reality of going to hell, as hell is commonly associated with fire. Because fires are also very devastating and unpredictable, Edwards emphasizes the power and degree of God’s disdain and his ability to cause drastic change at unexpected times, making God’s patience seem fragile.
The documentary of The Star of Bethlehem was a very interesting piece. Mr. Larson spoke very well about his side of the argument.

Mr. Larson impressed me with his interesting findings of The Star of Bethlehem.
