1 – Read the story from John 4:7-30. Note how Jesus asked the woman He met at the well introspective questions about herself. He pointed her to the truth, and then she went back to her life. Look at what she did in verse 29 and the result in verse 30. Brainstorm together how you each can share your experiences going through this book with others in your city.2 – Have you experienced any resistance from others around you as you have tried to make changes in your self and in your life? Share some of these with each other.
3 – What is one thing that you ABSOLUTELY have to have in your life? What is one thing that you want to RID yourself of?
4 – After sharing some of the questions from page 154 with someone else, what was a surprise you found. How did this help?
5– Discuss the differences between being selfish and taking care of yourself.
6 – Share a hero you listed on page 159. What is it about their life that you admire? How can you emulate them?
7 – Think long term, small changes. Have each person share one resolution from page 160. Take a minute to list something you can do right now to begin to fulfill the goal. Commit together to a time- table to accomplish that one thing.
8 – Before you come to the discussion today. Stop at a store that sells paint. Select a paint sample strip with your favorite color on it. On the back, write down your name. Beside it write a definition of yourself. Keep this as a concrete souvenir, a bookmark from your journey.
9 – Either as a group or individually, send an email to unwrittentravels@gmail.com. Tell us how the book impacted your life. What part did you like the best? The least?

discussion questions? how did i not know about this? i'm not sure i can get my usual group of ladies to do them with me, but i'll have to create a group just to enjoy them. :)
the paint strip is essential to those who think in color. my 'problem' seems to be that my color changes daily and i've had to use more than one.
