Chapter 11

Whatever it takes is scary! Yet it is even scarier to not be in the exact center of God's will!

1. Can you imagine your own Polaroid picture of God's will for you developing over the years? What do you know now about God's purposes for you that you did not yet "see" two years ago? Is there an area of your life where the fuzziness is giving way to a sharper image?

2. How is it possible that the center of God's will can be the safest yet most dangerous place to be?

3. Kay writes, "Most of us are called to pay a much smaller price, although each point of surrender can at times turn into high drama as we play tug-of-war with God." What are the "high drama" points in your tug-of-war with God thus far in your life? What part have they played in your developing maturity?

4. What great surrender challenges do you see ahead? Do you find yourself dreading them or eagerly awaiting them? How can such challenges craft you into Christlikeness?

5. Of all the stirring images in this chapter, which had the most profound effect on you? Why?
