A UNIQUE TOOL FOR CHURCH SMALL GROUPS

The Amazon best-selling Christian fiction book is the captivating story of the rebellion of a young girl against her father - and against God. The story and the characters raise many questions about our relationship with God, Christian life, and the right and wrong way to witness for Christ. Those questions are ripe for group discussion.

What others are saying

We used Former Things Forgotten in our weekly Bible study group. Although a novel is not a typical platform for our group discussions, we found the story to be a relatable telling of a young girl’s life of rebellion and her struggle to find faith. It pulled us in and sparked lively discussions of the major spiritual questions faced by the characters --- and by all of us. The companion Discussion Guide was immensely helpful in connecting our spiritual questions with God’s Word. I strongly recommend that leaders of church groups or book clubs consider Former Things Forgotten for use by their groups.

Joann, Bible study leader

I was called to bring Christ’s message of redemption to Christians and non-Christians, but woven through  a relatable and engaging fictional story of contemporary characters and scenarios. Former Things Forgotten certainly has been well-received by individual readers. The real power in the book, however, rests in group discussions around the questions presented in the book and the companion Discussion Guide.
