The majority of what the Lawyer says is not important or not of significance with the story. The Lawyer is por...

    In this book, there were no characters so I chose to write about the most interesting topic in chapter one called "excuses, excuses". The author here explains about the very first fight between husband and wife and the excuses Adam and Eve gave to cover up their sin in the Garden of Eden. When God asked them of their crime, they tried to put the blame on each other. In all fairness neither of them lied but they did try to cover up the truth, literally.

  • Religious Tattooing Among Young Evangelical Christians
