Chapter Fourteen Questions for 5/18 Study

  1. What meaning did you find in the overhead aerial chairs? Take into consideration, their apparent frailness, M.A.’s seating arrangement, and her thoughts of being able to cast herself out of it.
  2. Have you ever felt you have been on the “Borderline” of the High Places?
  3. Consider M.A.’s first response to the waterfall. How did the Shepherd’s suggestion change the way she view it?
  4. Does self-giving equate with joy for you? Consider your answer and be prepared to discuss.
  5. What does the Shepherd do while He is with them this time that He had not done before?
  6. Consider Hurnard’s use of the “mist” at this point in the story. What does the Shepherd say about reality and illusion?
  7. What instructions does He give? How do we apply them to our own lives right now?
  8. How does the transfiguration change the way M.A. views the Shepherd?
  9. Why does He touch M.A.’s lips with a burning coal? Find Scripture to back this up.
  10. How do you think M.A. would have responded had she heard the Shepherd’s response to Sorrow and Suffering?
  11. What is giving M.A. her strong focus that she does not hear those words? What does that tell us about our own focus?
(Sorry these have been so long in being posted. Please pray my health will perk up by Monday night!)
