Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Comer ends where he began — with the invitation of Jesus in Matthew 11: "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." After reading the whole book, does that invitation feel more real and accessible to you than when you started? Why or why not?
2.He is honest in the conclusion that he is still a work in progress — that the unhurried life is not a destination he has arrived at but a direction he is moving in. How does that admission affect your posture toward the practices in this book? Does it relieve pressure or disappoint you?
3.Comer frames the entire project as one of apprenticeship to Jesus — learning his way of life, not just his set of beliefs. Looking back over the book, how has your understanding of what it means to "follow Jesus" changed or deepened?
