Morley turns from external relationships to the interior world of a man — the battles with pride, fear, anger, and guilt that quietly sabotage everything else.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Morley writes that every man has a 'secret life' — an inner world of thoughts, fears, and desires that others rarely see. What is the emotional weather pattern of your inner life right now — anxious, bitter, proud, ashamed, at peace?
2.Paul's agonizing confession in Romans 7 — 'the good I want to do, I don't do; the evil I don't want to do, I keep doing' — is remarkably honest for an apostle. How closely does it describe your own experience?
3.Morley addresses pride as one of the most destructive forces in a man's inner life — often invisible to the man himself but obvious to those around him. Where does pride show up most subtly in your life?
a.In how you handle criticism?
b.In how you treat your wife or children?
c.In how you respond when you're wrong?
