6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they will be filled.

BLOOD BROTHERS - ESSAY

  • Review Ch.12 
  • Ch.12 Paragraph on Google Classroom (Please use a Google Doc rather than a pdf)
  • Journal 24: Ch.13 Final Reflection ~ Consider the way Elias Chacour approaches scriptures, the role of the church in society or even his way of facing personal loss, racial tension and inequality in his country. This biography is extremely honest in that Elias allows the reader to know all the places when he has doubted himself. What advice do you think Elias would give to you as a person who is still finding your path in life? How would he advise you to push past your personal doubts or adversity between you and your goals? Site his experiences as evidence for what you think he would advise.
