Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Ron honored Deborah's charge: he continued pursuing and investing in Denver after her death. What specific things does he do to maintain and deepen the friendship? What does faithfulness look like in practice?
2.Denver's standing in the community — both at the Mission and in the wider world, as the book's story begins to spread — changes significantly during this period. How does he carry that new visibility? Is he the same man, or has success changed him?
3.Ron begins to speak and share the story publicly — first reluctantly, then with growing conviction. What moves him from private grief to public testimony? What does it take for a private man to become a storyteller?
a.The book itself is an act of testimony — Ron and Denver choosing to make their story available to others. What do you think each of them hoped their story would do in the lives of readers?
b.Is there a story from your own life that you have kept private but that might actually serve others if you told it?
