4MAT Review Instructions
The 4MAT Review system is a way of responding to readings
that requires you to interact with new ideas on several levels.
Your 4MAT Reviews must each be 4-5 pages.
Use the following format in preparing your 4MAT Reviews:
Summary

24. After identifying the title, author, and date of the book,
summarize what you have read as if you were the author
condensing the book into 400 tight words. Prove that you
comprehend the readings by writing a no-nonsense summary.
This section is not a commentary or listing of topics, but rather
an in-depth, insightful “précis” of the content.
Concrete Responses
Get vulnerable! In 250 words, relate a personal life experience
that this book connected within your own life. Relate your story
in first person, describing action and quoting sentences you
remember hearing or saying. In the teaching style of Jesus, this
is a do-it-yourself parable, case study, and/or 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 arise 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 about 250 words.
Application
How does the information in the book influence how you are
going to continue your own personal/professional 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. This section should be about 250 words.
Please note: Your grade on each 4MAT Review depends on the
manner in which you address each of these 4 dimensions of
response to readings.
4MAT Review 1 covers Gottman and Silver's entire book, The

25. Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, and it is due by
11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 4.
