- What did you think about this book? Did you relate to any of the characters? In what way?
- Sheri feels devoted people like Lacy and Adela are more worthy of God's time and attention. Do you feel this way? Why or why not?
- What do you think about Sheri's attitude? Do you think one's worthiness actually has to do with who is seeking God more?
- How does God speak to you?
- I know for me, there are times when God seems silent, but then I realize He's letting me learn something that I need to learn in order to grow as a person and a Christian. Other times I realize I haven't been listening. Has this happened to you? In what way?
- Obedience isn't always easy. Pace gives up a life he loves to obey God's command that Christians are called out to be salt and light to the world. Have you ever had to give up something you loved in order to be obedient to God? How so?
- On one hand, Sheri seems to be trying to be someone she isn't. But if she didn't try to be a stronger person, she wouldn't have developed into the woman she is. People frequently say “stop trying to be someone you aren't.” What are your thoughts on this?
- Sheri gives Lacy credit for bringing her out of her shell. But in the end it is trusting herself and realizing that God has plans for her, too, that help her leave the past behind and step toward her future. How have you done something similar in your life?
- What do you think about the Matchmaking Posse? Do you ever just want to teach someone a lesson? To tell someone to mind their own business? Did it backfire on you?
- The divorce of Sheri's parents affected her deeply. Sheri learns to let it all go in order to move forward. Are you struggling or have you struggled with something similar in the past? Share your journey with the group.
