Book Discussion for Fearless


Fearless
   

If you're reading our Nov/Dec book, Fearless by Max Lucado, this is where you can make comments on the book, ask questions, or answer questions that I post here.

If you aren't, you can still participate! Max Lucado included Bible study questions in the back of the book. I'll be posting one of these each day until they run out (in about a month and a half). They're quick but insightful. So come join us!

Click on the title of this post to see the discussion.

If you're not familiar with blogger, you can then leave a comment by:

1) Scrolling down to the bottom of the discussion (preferably after reading the discussion ;) ).

2) Click on the "Post a Comment" link. The comment box will pop up as a separate webpage. Write your comments in the text box.

3) Look below the text box and the "Choose an identity" line. Choose the "Name/URL" option. Type your first name into the correct place and click the "Publish Your Comment" button.

4) Your comment should now be posted.

It's easier for me to post the daily devotional in a separate post each day, and it's probably easier for my blog followers, too. So I've decided to stop posting them here as well.

Here are the book discussion questions, mainly based on the first chapter (which is available to everyone to read here.)

Why do so many believers not expect rough seas and stout winds when they’re following Christ? What often happens to them when they have to weather such conditions?

How does fear corrode our confidence in God’s goodness?

Why does fear make it harder to love? To give generously?

How can you stop feeling afraid? What takes away the emotion of fear?
