(136-160)
-John's Perkins brother was shot and killed outside a movie theater by standing so he was sent to California for his own safety and when he came back he read the bible for both the white and black churches.
-Because of the white man, John learned his first unforgettable economic lesson and became cautions of what he has to do and what is being offered for the accomplishment before doing it.
-Forgive is one way that we can love our enemies.
-Festo didn't like how the people back in his home town talking about Jesus or asking each other for forgiveness.
-The rich man gave back the chief his cows because God said to do so because of his karmas.
-Why didn't John asked how much he was going to get paid for doing the work before doing it?
-Why did the man only gave him 15 cent when it's suppose to be a dollar, sometimes a dollar and a half or even two dollars?
-How come Festo Kivengere was upset that people is trying to spread their religious?
-What's so wrong about asking for forgiveness and talking about Jesus?
-Bootleggers(137): To deal goods illegally.
-Scuffed(140): To scrap with one's foot or feet.
-Snarled(154): To growl threateningly or viciously.
-"John could see the faces of the officers, twisted with rage and hate."(143)
-"Whites who realized that racism was wrong often felt crippled by guilt."(146)
-This is about how gospel had changed their life, how it made a big difference and encourage them to spread it along among their neighbors, its also about how God will punish you or at least karmas would occur if you do bad things such as the man who stole the chief's cow, he was sent to jail and beaten and that had made him realize it was bad and to return it, it also tells don't take what something doesn't belong to you and people make mistakes, it just take time for them to know it so they deserve to be forgiven if they apologized.
