Executive Summary Christianbook.com is the online home of Christian Book Distributors (CBD), a company formed long before the Internet even began to take shape. The company was started in 1978 by two brothers who were 19 and 14 years old at the time, out of their parents’ home in Lynn, Massachusetts. In 1981, one brother graduated college and the other graduated high school, while the business graduated out of “Mom and Dad’s home” into its first commercial facility in Peabody, Massachusetts. In 1984 the company built a 24,000-square-foot facility in the Centennial Industrial Park in Peabody. By 1996 CBD had completely outgrown the site and built a new facility across the street, where it remains today.
Philip Levine’s poem Gospel is about a man’s viewpoint on life while receiving bad information. Throughout the poem the speaker uses similes, metaphors, synechdoches, rhetorical questions, and personification to explain more to the readers.

SUMMARY Primary Goal (What is the desired outcome?) Dr. Crabb shares the main goal of his book is to serve the believer to first strengthen his personal relationship with Christ. The goal for any Christian counsel should be to help their client to climb the tree to a high level of Christian maturity.

Analysis There is a similar amount of positives and negatives about the Gloriavale Christian Community. Yes, they do show Christian characteristics, however their versions of these characteristics are taken to a certain extreme. For us “outsiders” they try to make it seem like they are a fully Christian based community and dedicate their lives to preaching the word of the Lord. However we have seen the extreme side to the claimed “Christian” community of gullible people.
Chapter 9 religion ad society book chapter 9, page 65, caught my attention for the reason it discusses the topic evangelism. This chapter deliberates how members at Grace Taiwanese have a mission by evangelizing individuals to come and hear the word of God. There is a quote on page 65 its says “Christians have a duty to proselytize as salvation is offered by God only those who accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Through evangelicals bring salvation to the world.” What Taiwanese church is trying to succeed is by evangelizing and converting individuals about the word of God.
