THE BOOK REPORT essence of the dope pic Submitted by Gertrude Beatriz Lim 6-6 Submitted to Mrs. Miriam E. Rana Message of the Mountain is a Christian fiction written by Matilda Nordtvedt. The book has 135 pages with 30 chapters. The story takes place in Bellingham, uppercase in the early 1900s. It was settled, the illusionsons were relocating to Bellingham, Washington since dada cannot sustain the work in the country. conjuration liked the idea of moving to the city, barely Hilda and Lois were not so thrilled. Their house in Bellingham was modern, and stool was delighted.From the window, you could externalize the magnificent Mount Baker. Papa and Hilda started talking about how Mount Baker was like God, making John feel awkward. The girls were a bit worried passing play to school even with Johns encouragement.

When he got home, John saw Mama chopping down some onions, so he ate a piece to take the smell of the cigarette out.John felt guilty for smoking, but thought that at least he did something to please his sire by chopping down some wood. There are some lessons that can be picked up from Message of the Mountain. One is about learning to accept form, because change is the only thing permanent in our lives. Everything changes in this world, so there is no way to resist it anyways. Another is that we should learn to say no. give tongue to no to wrong things will always be the right thing to do even if doing so means losing everything. Lastly, we should not lie, because lying could lead to depleted trust and relationship. I dont think we have to worry about bears and ghosts, Lois. God protects us from other things we meet each day and accidents maybe, and peculiarly from evil. That was what Mama told Lois. It means that God will always guard us from things that may endanger us. Its one of my favorite lines in the book. It makes me feel situate in the times of trouble jockeying God will not leave us, but He will be there protecting us. The outflank part in the chapters is when they arrived in Bellingham. It was about the time when things were about to change.It was nice because it described how John felt towards making new friends and adjusting to a new life.

Marvin suddenly asked for Johns share of tobacco, but John said he did not afford tobacco and Papa does not smoke. Marvin shrugged and suggested him to steal some at Mr. Thorsens store. John was astonished by his suggestion he could not steal now or could he? In Chapter 7, Mama had a big annunciation Hilda could take piano lessons if Mama would clean Mrs. Lavines house once a week. The girls were squealing from excitement but all John felt was smooching someone and getting some tobacco.In Chapter 8, Mr. Strom showed his complex watch and related it to the wonderful creations of God. John then reconsidered believing in creation. In the next chapter, Lois eavesdropped on Marvin and Johns conversation.

No matter how we try to hide it the truth will be revealed.We should also be a unsloped example to others. Our actions may affect others actions. There are some people who do wrong things because of their peer pressure in being called a yellow(a) or whatsoever, but we should learn to be stand up to do the right thing. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive oursel ves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This line affected me most because it reminds me that God is a forgive God. It assured me that if I confess my sins to Him, I will be cleansed.
