Discussion Questions
7 questions1.How are Marcus and Atretes changed — or beginning to be changed — by what they have witnessed? What specific shift do you see in each of them by the novel's end, and where does each character's arc seem to be heading?
2.Jesus says in John 12:24 that 'unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.' How does Hadassah's story embody this principle? What 'seeds' has her life and death planted in the people around her?
3.Hebrews 11 is the great 'Hall of Faith' — a list of people who 'did not receive what was promised' in their lifetimes but whose faith shaped the future (verses 39-40). How does Hadassah belong in that company? What does it mean for a story to be truly finished even when it looks, from a human vantage point, unfinished?
a.What 'unfinished' stories in your own life are you being asked to trust to God rather than forcing to a resolution?
b.Who in your life has been a 'Hadassah' — someone whose faithful witness shaped you, whether or not they knew it?
