Wife Wanted in Dry Creek
Page 17
Do you think a church should pray about people’s romances? How about their finances? Their political decisions? Their ethics? Where is the dividing line between concern and nosiness?
Conrad had a hard life. Why is he reluctant to risk loving someone? Have you had a bad experience that has made you hesitate to get close to people? How could people in the church have made this situation better? And what would have made it worse?
Katrina Britton had a difficult past, too. Why did she feel God betrayed her? Have you ever felt God has betrayed your trust? What difference has this made in your life?
What prompted Katrina to quit her secretarial job and pursue her dream of being a professional photographer? Have you ever had a dream like that? What did you do—or what will you do—to make it come true?
Katrina learned to see things differently when she gave up trying to control them. Why do you think she found it so hard to give up control?
Conrad was afraid to love someone too much, because he didn’t want them to die. This is understandable. How do we get courage to love anyone? What would you have told Conrad if you could have talked with him?
Aunt Edith opens her home to four people she barely knows: Katrina, her sister and her nephews. The Bible tells us to be hospitable. Would you do the same thing? Why or why not?
Conrad doesn’t realize he loves Katrina until it’s almost too late. Have you ever realized the importance of someone only when it’s time to say goodbye (i.e., realizing all your parents have done for you as it’s time to move on to college, coming to appreciate a friend when it’s time for them to leave)?
Katrina’s sister has to decide whether or not to divorce her husband, Walker. What do you think she will do?
