There are more questions here than we need for our time limitations. We will only choose some of these for discussion.

(from Kurt Box, found on Amazon discussion forum)
Preface/Foreword/Chapter 1
1. After reading these brief sections, what do you see as Francis’s established main point for the book?
2. Do you “know something is wrong?” What (in particular for you)?
3. Do you lead a comfortable life? What does a “comfortable life” mean to you personally?
4. What is our (people) core problem?
5. Have you ever been in total awe of God? When?
6. Do you believe God and science are at odds or supportive of one another? Why?
7. What do think of A.W. Tozer’s quote “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us?” Why does he say that? What does he mean? Do you agree?
8. Why must God be eternal?
9. Why do you personally believe we (people) are here? Why are you here?
10. Does God’s “hate” seem strange to you? Why?
11. Do you ever stand in awe and silence? When, be specific?
12. Has this chapter changed your view of God? If so, how?

Chapter 2:
The shift in focus….
1. Paint a picture of what you think it would look like if you were to live as though you knew we were going to die (a) tomorrow; (b) next year; (c) in 5 years. Would it be different from how you live now?
2. Think of people you know, stories you’ve heard, movies you’ve seen that describe what other people live like when they know they have a limited time left to live. How does it match your thoughts above?
3. What kinds of things are keeping us from living like this?
“Intellectually we all know that we will die, but we do not really know it in the sense that the knowledge becomes a part of us. We do not really know it in the sense of living as though it were true. On the contrary, we tend to live as though our lives would go on forever.” -Frederick Buechner (pg 38).
4. Think about the quote above (from Crazy Love). How true does it hold for you?
5. What is the natural way to react to stress or worry? How do you react to stress, conflict and/or worry?
6. Think about how many outside factors govern the activities of your life that are completely out of your control. How do you usually react to those things (especially if they are people)?
7. What is your reaction to having so little control (even though we tend to think we have SO MUCH control) over your own life?
8. Has this chapter changed your “life view?” If so, how?
9. If this has changed your life view how can you stay focused on this new view?
10. Can you justify how you live your life today based on this view?
