Into the story of an adventure that could easily have remained solitary, God introduced a woman named Corrie — and her presence raises all the questions about how calling, love, sacrifice, and partnership actually work in a real life.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Andrew met Corrie in Holland and their courtship unfolded alongside his growing commitment to a ministry that was dangerous, underfunded, and without any clear organizational structure. What did Corrie understand she was saying yes to when she agreed to marry him?
2.The book is honest about the tension between Andrew's calling to go and his responsibility to stay — to be a husband and eventually a father. How does he navigate that tension, and do you find his resolution of it satisfying or troubling?
3.Corrie herself was a woman of deep faith who sacrificed significantly for Andrew's ministry — raising children largely alone, managing a home on near-nothing, and living with the reality that her husband might not return from a trip. How does the book honor her contribution?
a.In what ways is Corrie a hidden hero of this story?
b.How do you think about the 'behind the scenes' callings that support more visible ones? Are they lesser?
