This chapter confronts us with the one truth we most instinctively avoid: our lives are fragile, brief, and not our own. Read it slowly, and let it do its uncomfortable work.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The title "You Might Not Finish This Chapter" is a deliberate jolt. How did you feel reading it? Did it strike you as gimmicky, or did it land with genuine weight? Why?
2.Chan uses the image of our lives as a "vapor" or a "mist" — here and then gone. How does the brevity and fragility of life change the urgency of his message? How does it change the urgency of your own daily choices?
3.Jesus tells the parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12, a man who builds bigger barns and plans for a long, comfortable future — only to have his soul required of him that very night. Chan invokes this parable to ask: what "barns" are you building? What are you planning for and hoarding that assumes you have unlimited time?
a.What would you do differently this week if you genuinely believed your time was short?
b.Are there conversations, acts of generosity, or commitments to God that you have been postponing?
