These questions will help you think about your life and how your faith has grown and developed. In this case, the questions flow more or less chronologically. As you read each question, pray, reflect and record where your thoughts take you.
**** REMEMBER***
YOUR BOOK, YOUR FAITH: This chapter and the questions it contains are rooted in the Christian faith A billion people in the world share that faith. But billions more passionately follow other religions. Even within the Christian traditions there are countless variations and nuances. So while I fervently believe in my road to God and will gladly tell anyone all about it, our purpose here is not to convert you. Take these questions and shape them to fit your experience. Please don’t let the fact that the question aren’t worded to perfectly fit your faith keep you from taking this truly valuable journey!
