Justin,
ReplyDeleteYour titles are consistent (each involving people), but in your explanations could discuss the thematic consequences of each chapter. For instance, in Ch. 17 -- why is Esther's giving him something so important for us...beyond that no one had given him a gift since his parents. Push out more analysis out of this...the idea of trust is a starting point. Also, the idea of kindness...what does Esther represent, in other words?
