APA Format:

Students will read and assess J. I. Packers A Quest for Godliness (711 pages), including the following sections:

1. Summary (23 pages). Put “Summary” in bold as a section heading, and then give an overview of the book’s unique angle, table of contents, and main argument, all in paragraph form. Strengths, weaknesses, and devotional thoughts should not be present in the summary. Do not just say what the author talked about; tell us what the author said about what the author talked about.
2. Assessment (23 pages). Put “Assessment” in bold as a section heading, and then note the main strengths and weaknesses of the book from your perspective. What about the book’s structure and content was helpful? What was less helpful? What do you think the book should have added or left out? Did you agree with the author’s conclusions? Who would benefit from reading this book? Strive for both clarity and charity in your assessment.
3. Reflection (35 pages). Put “Reflection” in bold as a section heading, and then answer the following questions: How might the Puritan vision of the Christian life, as Packer has explained it, inform or even correct your own views and practices of spirituality? Do you believe that you ought to adopt those changes? Why or why not?

*First, pay careful attention to the instructions and the rubric for the assignment. Second, avoid first-person language except in the “Reflection” section and always avoid contractions. Third, make sure you are familiar with the Midwestern Style Manual’s section on (and example of) Book Reviewsthis assignment has distinct sections that are different from the Style Manual’s Book Review, but there are many similarities. *
