Free for small-group leaders
Free Discussion Question Generator for Book Studies
Type the book your group is reading — or a Bible passage — and get five open questions written for a church group, right on this page in a few seconds. Enter your email if you want the full set of twelve with a closing prayer, laid out to print for the group.
Specific to the book
The questions name the actual ideas, stories and lines of the title you typed — not questions that would fit any book on the shelf.
In the order a conversation runs
From what the author says, to what it means, to what it asks of us — with one question that invites a story and a last one that lands on faith.
Ready to hand out
The full set is a one-page printable: twelve numbered questions with room to write, and a closing prayer to end the meeting.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this work for any book?
- Any book a church group might read — a Christian book, a classic, a memoir, a novel. The questions are written from what we know about that specific title, so well-known books get the most specific questions; if we don't know a book well we say so on the page, and adding the author helps. Bible passages work too: type a reference like Luke 15:11-32, or a short description like "the parable of the sower".
- What kind of questions are they?
- Open questions, in the order a good conversation runs: what the book says, then what it means, then what it asks of us this week. One question invites someone to tell a story, and the last one lands on faith and practice. None of them can be answered with yes or no, and each is meant to be answerable by an ordinary reader without any theological training.
- What arrives by email, and do I need an account?
- No account. The five questions are free on the page. If you enter your email we write the full set — twelve questions and a closing prayer — and send a printable PDF (and a web page you can print). The same links appear on this page the moment you press send. That one email also mentions our study guides once, with whatever first-year code is live at the time — nothing else follows.
- Is there a limit?
- Five different books or passages a day, free. If someone has already asked for the same title, you get their set instantly and it doesn't count against you.
- How is this different from your study guides?
- A study guide covers the whole book — a reading, discussion questions and a closing prayer for every week, usually eight to fourteen weeks — and Week 1 of every guide is free to read. This page writes a quick set for one meeting. When the book you type is one we already have a guide for, we point you straight to it.
