4 MAT REVIEWS INSTRUCTIONS
The 4 MAT REVIEW system is a way of responding to readings that requires the learner to
interact with new ideas on several levels.
Please use the following format in preparing 4 MAT REVIEWS:
Summary:
Summarize what you have read as if you were the author boiling down the book into 300 words
(just like reading the jacket of a book to decide if you want to read the book itself). Prove that
you comprehend the readings by writing a clear, concise summary.
Concrete responses:
Get vulnerable! In 300 words, relate a personal life episode that this book connected with in your
own life experience. Relate your story in first person, describing action, quoting sentences you
remember hearing or saying. In the teaching style of Jesus, this is a do-it-yourself parable, case
study, confession. You will remember almost nothing you have read unless you make this
critical, personal connection. What video memory began to roll? This is your chance to tell your
story and make new ideas found in the book your own.
Reflection:
What new questions pop up for you in response to what you have read? Keep a rough note sheet
at hand as you read. Begin with questions like, What would I like further information on?
Where do I not agree/strongly agree with the author? or What bothers me/excites me about this
content? This section should be at least 300 words.
Application:
How does information book influence how you are going to continue your own personal growth
process? What actions or changes are you going to make in your life as a result of your learning?
Your response here is a matter of obedience first, questions later. Be precise in summarizing
your action steps (limit these comments to about 400 words).
Submit your 4 MAT Review 1 by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 4.
Submit your 4 MAT Review 2 by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 6.
