Astonishing Grace: Eight Stories of God's Faithfulness has study questions that could be used for the small group.
This is a collection of eight amazing stories of people who went through both common and extraordinary circumstances. Step into accounts of everyday hardships interwoven with miraculous endings, as well as stories of God's light piercing through deep darkness and delivering people from unbearably heavy situations:
A young boy from Yugoslavia, persecuted because of his German background, seeing his mother suffer cruelly, being abused by his step-father, and living in a graveyard for years as a teenager.
A young soldier, surviving a serious accident in the war in Afghanistan, left without any hope and on the brink of suicide.
A life full of fleeting pleasures - drinking, girlfriends, pornography - all leaving a young man empty and unsatisfied.
Young parents going through the unimaginable as they watch their firstborn five-year-old daughter battle an aggressive brain tumor.
"These true life stories shake, question, and invite us all into the embrace of the One who calls us all to his yoke and his rest."
-arko orevi, Professor of Theology at the Faculty of Theology in Novi Sad; Bible Translator (New Serbian Translation); editor of this book in original Serbian language

Be ready for this book to captivate you from the first page to the last.
