This final week is a chance to look back across the whole of Wilkerson's story and ask what it has actually done to you — not just what you learned about it, but how it has changed the way you see God, yourself, and the world around you.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back across the entire book, which single chapter, scene, or moment had the most impact on you personally? What was it about that particular moment that hit you hardest — and why do you think it found you where you were?
2.Before reading *The Cross and the Switchblade*, how would you have answered the question: 'Can the Holy Spirit transform someone who is genuinely, deeply, thoroughly broken — by addiction, by violence, by years of rage and hurt?' How would you answer that question now?
3.Wilkerson's story consistently challenges the reader's sense of who is 'reachable' for the gospel. Has this book changed your perception of any person or group of people in your own community — someone you had quietly written off? What would it look like to move toward that person rather than away?
